We address the use of multimodality imaging as an aid to the planning and guidance of neurosurgical procedures, and discuss the integration of anatomical (CT and MRI), vascular (DSA), and functional (PET) data for presentation to the surgeon during surgery. Our workstation is an enhancement of a commercially available system, and in addition to the guidance offered via a hand-held probe, it inc...

In the first group of developments, we reference the introduction of morphological, functional, and molecular imaging in all the steps of oncology workflow, from treatment planning to treatment delivery phases. Treatment plans based on multimodality images and daily imageguided radiotherapy (IGRT), based on volumetric images, are both becoming routine. Advanced examples of this trend are combin...

The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) applied an evidence-based consensus review process to the development of guidelines for breast cancer early detection, diagnosis, treatment and health care systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMCs). Breast cancer outcomes correlate with the degree to which (1) cancers are detected at early stages, (2) newly detected cancers can be diagnosed co...

Multimodality refers to the phenomenon of using more than one mode transport in a given period. Encouraging multimodality potentially provides an effective solution reduce CO2 emissions and induce modal shifts toward sustainable transport. This research investigates extent which level correlates differ by trip purpose. We used one-week travel diaries English National Travel Survey. Our analyses...

The objective of Image fusion is to combine information from multiple images of the same scene in to a single image retaining the important and required features from each of the original image. Nowadays, with the rapid development in high-technology and modern instrumentations, medical imaging has become a vital component of a large number of applications, including diagnosis, research, and tr...

IMPORTANCE The etiology and optimal treatment are unknown for angiosarcoma, an aggressive malignant tumor that affects vascular endothelial cells and can be mistaken for benign lesions such as hemangioma. OBJECTIVE To determine the treatment outcomes of patients with angiosarcoma of the face or scalp treated with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. DESIGN, SETT...

s the chair of the Cardiovascular Imaging Section, I recently asked the members of the Imaging Council to consider multimodality imaging: its definition and application and the opportunities for tomorrow. The Council is composed of representatives from the American College of Cardiology, the American Society of Echocardiography, the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Society for Cardio...

OBJECTIVE Combined small cell lung cancer (C-SCLC) is an uncommon subgroup of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and few clinical data can be referred. Our study is to investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of C-SCLC, as well as the role of multimodality treatment. METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2012, patients with histologically diagnosed C-SCLC were retrospectively a...
