OVERVIEW: Progress in medical imaging has led to remarkable advances in medical diagnosis technology. Nevertheless, the realization of advanced medical treatment requires functional imaging technology that is more practical. In contrast to morphological imaging, functional imaging captures information about the functioning of living tissues, such as blood circulation and oxygen metabolism, cere...

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new method that is able to provide three-dimensional images in radiology and is useful for dentomaxillofacial imaging. This study aimed to investigate the cases administrated CBCT by dentists of Kerman (2015 year). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on dentists in Kerman. The data were gathered using standard research q...

Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
