Molecular imaging of tumor metabolism has gained considerable interest, since preclinical studies have indicated a close relationship between the activation of various oncogenes and alterations of cellular metabolism. Furthermore, several clinical trials have shown that metabolic imaging can significantly impact patient management by improving tumor staging, restaging, radiation treatment plann...

Cycling hypoxia is now a well-recognized phenomenon in animal and human solid tumors. Cycling hypoxia can exist more than 100-μm distances from a microvessel, and some of these regions have been shown to exist adjacent to normal tissue. Fluctuations in pO(2) of approximately 20 mm Hg can occur with periodicities of minutes to hours and even days. These fluctuations have been attributed to chang...

The imaging and clinical management of patients with brain tumor continue to evolve over time and now heavily rely on physiologic imaging in addition to high-resolution structural imaging. Imaging remains a powerful noninvasive tool to positively impact the management of patients with brain tumor. This article provides an overview of the current state-of-the art clinical brain tumor imaging. In...

Recent advances in the development of LAPONITE® nanodisk-based platforms for tumor chemotherapy and phototherapy, imaging, theranostics have been reviewed.

This is a case report on stereotaxic (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy-SBRT) for lung cancer located in the left lower lobe (Segment 6, S6). There have been no reports on marked displacement of the peripheral lung cancer during radiotherapy. A pulmonary nodule was discovered on computed tomography (CT) conducted for a persistent cough in an 87-year-old male. According to diagnostic imaging, this ...

a 16-years-old female patient with painless swelling of the right side of mandible is described. she noticed the swelling from two years ago, without painful symptoms. axial ct imaging showed buccal expansion with intact buccal and lingual cortical bone. the report of incisional biopsy was central odontogenic fibroma. under general anesthesia the lesion was removed after ostectomy of buccal cor...
