Fluorescence and, more generally, photoluminescence enable high contrast imaging of targeted regions interest through the use photoluminescent probes with specificity for different targets. can be used rare cell imaging; however, this often requires a space-bandwidth product: simultaneous resolution and large field view. With bulky traditional microscopes, product images require time-consuming ...

  A 25 year-old man presented with pain, swelling, and intermittent drainage from distal lateral aspect of his left knee three months after undergoing isolated ACL reconstruction with arthroscopic hamstring autograft and endobottom technique. His surgeon at that time tried to eliminate the pathology through arthroscopic wash out in two attempts. However, the pain, edema, and discharge recurred ...

Introduction: Shone syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality; however, many of the cases remain undiagnosed until early and mid-adulthood. Different Imaging modalities are used to assess the related structural abnormalities. Case presentation: In this case study, we report a 32 yo woman who was planning for her first pregnancy. In consideration to her childhood heart problems, besides...

despite the many studies about timing for surgery in subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah), the optimum time is still unclear. the aim of this study was to determine the results of early and late surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. in this cross-sectional study we evaluated the results of 70 consecutive surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in in firuzgar hospital from 2005 to 2008...

 To the best of our knowledge, imaging of accidental exposure to radioactive fluorine-18 (F-18) due to liquid spill has not been described earlier in the scientific literature. The short half-life of F-18 (t½=110 min), current radiation safety requirements, and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations on radiopharmaceuticals have restrained the occurrence of these incidents. The possibilit...

Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...
