Amyloidosis comprises a rare spectrum of protein deposition diseases that diffusely or focally affect any organ. Amyloid's variable clinical presentation and nonspecific disease course often cause it to evade early diagnosis. This pictorial essay aims to familiarize radiologists with the pathophysiology of amyloidosis, to describe the basic classifications of amyloidosis, and to use multimodali...

In this report we discuss multimodal interface technology. We present examples of multimodal interfaces and show problems and opportunities. Fusion of modalities is discussed and some roadmap discussions on research in Multimodality are summarized. This report also discusses future developments where rather than communicating with a single computer, users communicate with their environment usin...

While organ preservation with nonextirpative surgery, radiotherapy, and frequently, chemotherapy has become a favored strategy in the treatment of many cancers, bladder preservation for patients with invasive disease remains controversial. The standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the United States is still radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. An alternative ...

This paper describes a user-oriented approach to a multimodal onboardcomputer system for use in cars. The intention of a prototype design was to demonstrate multimodality under “real” conditions, so most of the user-tests took place in a driving-simulator environment. The system features speech, gesture and manual input as well as a GUI and speech output and is developed in five steps with syst...

Currently, the application of the network resources and various means of teaching such as multimedia into the classroom has led to the demonstration of multimodality in college English teaching. This paper analyzes the current status of college English teaching and the existing problems, elaborates the research trends of the theory of multimodal discourse analysis, and aims to explore the quest...

We present MINOS, a simulator designed to support the development of multisensory models for goal-directed navigation in complex indoor environments. The simulator leverages large datasets of complex 3D environments and supports flexible configuration of multimodal sensor suites. We use MINOS to benchmark deep-learning-based navigation methods, to analyze the influence of environmental complexi...

To verify the influence of a priori information on the nonuniqueness problem of bioluminescence tomography (BLT), the multimodality imaging fusion based BLT experiment is performed by multiview noncontact detection mode, which incorporates the anatomical information obtained by the microCT scanner and the background optical properties based on diffuse reflectance measurements. In the reconstruc...

A duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA) aneurysm is characterized by the presence of an aneurysm at the bifurcation of the original and duplicated middle cerebral arteries. The authors reported a very rare case that had a DMCA aneurysm and underwent multimodality treatment. The patient was 49-year-old male and presented with headache. His examinations revealed an aneurysm at the origin of th...

OBJECTIVE To discuss the basic concepts involved in the development of yttrium 90 (Y-90) microsphere selective internal radiation treatment and review the clinical data pertaining to its application in hepatic colorectal cancer metastases. DATA SOURCES Published studies and scientific paper presentations. STUDY SELECTION Randomized clinical studies and retrospective reviews. CONCLUSIONS S...

Cardiac multimodality (hybrid) imaging can be obtained from a variety of techniques, such as nuclear medicine with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET), or radiology with multislice computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and echography. They are typically combined in a side-by-side or fusion mode in order to provide functional and ...
