Molecular imaging using high-resolution PET instrumentation has a pivotal role in basic and clinical research. The development of optimized detection geometries combined with high-performance detector technologies and compact designs of PET tomographs has become the goal of active research groups in academic and corporate settings. More recently, the introduction of dual-modality PET/CT imaging...

Medical image fusion has been used to derive useful information from multimodality medical image data. In this research, we propose a novel method for multimodality medical image fusion. Using wavelet transform, we achieved a fusion scheme. Afusion rule is proposed and used for calculating the wavelet transformation modulus maxima of input images at different bandwidths and levels. To evaluate ...

Surgical treatment of cancer of the esophagus is influenced by two issues: use of surgical resection within a multimodality treatment approach and selection of the correct surgical approach. Selecting the correct surgical approach should be individualized and determined by the intent of surgery (curative or palliative), the anatomic location of the tumor (cervical or thoracic), the preferred me...

Radiation therapy (RT) as part of multidisciplinary oncologic care has been marked by profound advancements over the past decades. As part of multimodality therapy for esophageal cancer (EC), a prime goal of RT is to minimize not only treatment toxicities, but also postoperative complications and hospitalizations. Herein, discussion commences with the historical approaches to treating EC, inclu...

Multimodality has the potential to facilitate richer interaction styles in both information retrieval and learning environments. However, its true potential will not be realised unless consideration is given to the application of combined modalities. This paper asserts that multimedia output from a system actually requires multimodality on the part of the user in order to ensure that the effect...

Simultaneously presented signals may be processed in serial or in parallel. One potentially valuable indicator of a system's characteristics may be the appearance of multimodality in the response time (RT) distributions. It is known that standard serial models can predict multimodal RT distributions, but it is unknown whether multimodality is diagnostic of serial systems, or whether alternative...

We provide stylized facts on the evolving shape dynamics of the US personal income distribution from 1962 to 2000. Based on adaptive kernel density estimation, we propose an adaptive bootstrap test for multimodality. Our results indicate that multimodality has been a predominant feature of the US income distribution. Both the number and location of modes change over time, revealing rich distrib...

Learning does not need to be classroom based, but can occur in a variety of places and for a variety of reasons. This assumption is often referred to in terms of the context of learning. In this paper, we focus on multimodality, as a means of exploring contextual learning for children. By multimodality we mean the interaction between visual, actional and linguistic communication that can be emp...
