A noninvasive imaging modality for cardiac arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND The last decade witnessed an explosion of information regarding the genetic, molecular, and mechanistic basis of heart disease. Translating this information into clinical practice requires the development of novel functional imaging modalities for diagnosis, localization, and guided intervention. A noninvasive modality for imaging cardiac arrhythmias is not yet available. Present ele...
متن کاملMulti-modality imaging of pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma, a rare neuroendocrine adrenal tumor, is often diagnosed by a combination of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features. While the imaging features of this entity are variable, the use of complementary modalities often helps to target the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease. We present a multi-modality evaluation of a pheochromocytoma, with CT, MR, MIBG, and pat...
متن کاملMulti-modality compressed breast imaging
ABSTRACT Measurement of breast tissue response to external stimulation has the potential to unveil additional dynamic biomarkers of disease states. Recently tumor contrast generated by breathing-gas induced vascular changes has been demonstrated using both BOLD imaging [1] and MRIguided near infrared diffuse optical tomography [2]. At the same time, in the biomedical optics community, temporall...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion imaging - a validated and mature cardiac imaging modality.
BACKGROUND Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) involves the use of radiotracers to generate scintigraphic images of the myocardium. It is the best validated and most standardised of all cardiac imaging modalities, demonstrating regional perfusion ventricular wall motion and accurately calculating reproducible left ventricular ejection fraction. Physiological or pharmacological stress can...
متن کاملTissue mimicking materials for a multi-imaging modality prostate phantom.
Materials that simultaneously mimic soft tissue in vivo for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), and computed tomography (CT) for use in a prostate phantom have been developed. Prostate and muscle mimicking materials contain water, agarose, lipid particles, protein, Cu++, EDTA, glass beads, and thimerosal (preservative). Fat was mimicked with safflower oil suffusing a random mesh ...
