چکیده
In the past three decades, techniques that permit noninvasive quantitation of the function of the heart have been developed. Exercise electrocardiography has been widely used to determine the presence or absence of ischemic heart disease. Echocardiography permits detection of valvular, congenital and arteriosclerotic disease and quantitation of its severity. Selective use of isotopes allows nuclear angiogarphy, myocardial perfusion studies and detection of damage to cellular myocardium. New techniques such as computerized axial tomography, magnetometry, focused pulsed Doppler, and wider application of computer-enhanced image processing are important future directions for noninvasive monitoring.

Analyzing Thought-related Electroencephalograpitic Data Using Nonlinear Techniques
The current primary use of the EEG is in clinical applications. However, because the EEG involves conceptually simple instrumentation, is relatively safe, and inherently noninvasive, it is well worth investigating for possible use in other applications. Specifically, if it were possible for a human operator to reliably control some aspect of his/her EEG, a direct humancomputer interface could b...
متن کاملIn vivo Noninvasive Small Animal Molecular Imaging
The remarkable efforts that are made on molecular imaging technologies demonstrate its potential importance and range of applications. The generation of disease-specific animal models, and the developments of target-specific probes and genetically encoded reporters are another important component. Continued improvements in the instrumentation, the identification of novel targets and genes, and ...
متن کاملComparison of Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional and Patient-Specific Instrumentation
Background: Recently, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems have been developed in order to increase theaccuracy of component positioning during total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the findings of previous studies arecontroversial in this regard. In the current randomized clinical study, the outcomes of computer tomography (CT)-basedPS (patient specific)-guided TK...
متن کاملNoninvasive measurement of iron: report of an NIDDK workshop.
An international workshop on the noninvasive measurement of iron was conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) on April 17, 2001, to assess the current state of the science and to identify areas needing further investigation. The workshop concluded that a clear clinical need is evident for quantitative, noninvasive, safe, accurate, and readily ava...
متن کاملA potentially powerful new tool for noninvasive diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities: the CUPID system for analysis of electrocardiograms in the frequency domain.
Clinical correlation of frequency-domain characteristics of electrocardiograms with specific disease entities of thousands of patients has produced a simple, noninvasive diagnostic system capable of detecting many cardiac abnormalities with specificity and sensitivity exceeding 90%. This system, a proprietary product called CUPID, is now undergoing clinical trials in Europe, South America, and ...
