Pulsed arterial infusions. Chemotherapeutic implications

Chemotherapeutic implications of staging in Hodgkin's disease.

The chemotherapeutic implications of staging are the following, (a) As both radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic treatment programs become more aggressive, the decision as to what stage a patient resides in becomes more important since both programs may be mutually exclusive, (Ã ̈)More complete approaches to staging are yielding previously unappreciated areas of disease involvement. More and mo...

Pulsed Doppler assessment of arterial obstructive disease.

Intravenous and intra-arterial chemotherapeutic possibilities in biliopancreatic cancer.

Chemotherapy of carcinomas of the pancreas and biliary tract has always been of limited value. Pancreatic cancer is well known for its aggressive nature, poor prognosis and resistance to antineoplastic agents which are effective in other solid tumors. 5-Fluorouracil has long been the mainstay of the treatment of pancreatic cancer, although the response rate to this agent is < 10% and the influe...

Pediatric perfusion imaging using pulsed arterial spin labeling.

PURPOSE To test the feasibility of pediatric perfusion imaging using a pulsed arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique at 1.5 T. MATERIALS AND METHODS ASL perfusion imaging was carried out on seven neurologically normal children and five healthy adults. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the perfusion images along with T1, M(0), arterial transit time, and the temporal fluctuation of the ASL ima...
