Thibault, grande source de rigolade et d'inspiration, "food for the soul". Enfin, je tiens à remercier Sînziana de tout mon coeur. C'est elle qui me donne une bonne raison de me lever tous les matins: lui apporter un café. Merci Sînziana, tu es la meilleure et j'espère rester ton réveil matin encore longtemps. 2 Magneto-acoustic tomography with magnetic induction 37 2.

Radionuclide therapy aims to treat malignant diseases by systemic administration of radiopharmaceuticals, often using carrier molecules such as peptides and antibodies. The radionuclides used emit electrons or alpha particles as a consequence of radioactive decay, thus leading to local energy deposition. Administration to individual patients can be tailored with regards to the risk of toxicity ...

S NM leadership, including the SNM training task force in collaboration with the American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM), continues to work on educational materials, guidelines, credentialing statements, and position papers regarding competency in nuclear medicine to ensure high-quality care for patients who may benefit from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with radiopharmaceuticals. The...

We create two 3D biomechanical speaker models matched to medical image data of two healthy English speakers. We use a new, hybrid registration technique that morphs a generic 3D, biomechanical model to medical images. The generic model of the head and neck includes jaw, tongue, soft-palate, epiglottis, lips and face, and is capable of simulating upper-airway biomechanics. We use cine and tagged...

Hybrid inverse problems aim to combine two imaging modalities, one that displays large contrast and one that gives high resolution. Mathematically, quantitative reconstructions in such hybrid problems involve reconstructing coefficients in a partial differential equation (PDE) from point-wise functionals of the coefficients and the PDE solution. There are many settings in which such inverse pro...

Conducting p-type polymer layers on n-type Si have been widely studied for the fabrication of cost-effective hybrid solar cells. In this work, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is used to provide three-dimensional chemical imaging of the interface between poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and SiOx/Si in a hybrid solar cell. To minimize st...

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis has been successfully used in radiology to help determine the combined success of system and observer. There is great value in these methods for assessing new and existing techniques to see if diagnostic accuracy can be improved. Within all aspects of radiology there should be compliance with the as-low-as-reasonably-achievable principle, which r...

Intermolecular interactions and nanoscale phase separation govern the properties of many molecular soft-matter systems. Here, we combine infrared vibrational scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR s-SNOM) with force-distance spectroscopy for simultaneous characterization of both nanoscale optical and nanomechanical molecular properties through hybrid imaging. The resulting multic...

PURPOSE We aim to evaluate the utility/improved accuracy of hybrid PET/MR compared to current practice separate 3T MRI and PET-CT imaging for localization of seizure foci. METHOD In a pilot study, twenty-nine patients undergoing epilepsy surgery evaluation were imaged using PET/MR. This subject group had 29 previous clinical 3T MRI as well as 12 PET-CT studies. Prior clinical PET and MR image...

Multi-protein complexes are ubiquitous and play essential roles in many biological mechanisms. Single molecule imaging techniques such as electron microscopy (EM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are powerful methods for characterizing the structural properties of multi-protein and multi-protein-DNA complexes. However, a significant limitation to these techniques is the ability to distinguish ...
