Cell imaging: The versatile synthesis, photophysical characterization and use of multiple Cinnoline/Naphthalimide fused hybrid fluorophores for live cell imaging provides a comprehensive overview “CinNapht” potential as bio-imaging agent.

Development of multifunctional nanoparticle-based probes for dual T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could allow us to image and diagnose the tumors or other abnormalities in an exceptionally accurate and reliable manner. In this study, by fusing distinct nanocrystals via solid-state interfaces, we built hybrid heteronanostructures to combine both T1 and T2- weighted contrast ...

These days we are eyewitnesses to an exciting new hybrid imaging modality to enter the clinical arena, namely simultaneous whole-body MR/PET imaging. Envisioning the combination of the excellent soft tissue contrast, high spatial and temporal resolution, and functional tissue parameters that MR provides with the high sensitivity of PET, different technical approaches have been pursued by resear...

Abstract: Compressive imaging/sensing employing a random measurement basis does not incorporate the specific object prior information available for natural images. An alternate hybrid measurement basis is proposed that yields improved reconstruction performance for natural images. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (110.1758) Computational imaging; (100.3020) Image reconstruction-rest...

Magnetic luminescent hybrid nanostructures (MLHN) have received a great deal of attention due to their potential biomedical applications such as thermal therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery and intracellular imaging. We report the development of bifunctional Fe3O4 decorated YPO4:Eu hybrid nanostructures by covalent bridging of carboxyl PEGylated Fe3O4 and amine functionalized YPO4...

INTRODUCTION The integration of interventional techniques into cardiovascular surgery requires angiographic imaging capabilities in the operating room. A deep understanding of the technology and its implication for the surgical workflow is scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS Before planning a hybrid operating room, a clear vision for the utilization should be established. Commonly, the theaters are i...

Motion blur due to camera motion can significantly degrade the quality of an image. Since the path of the camera motion can be arbitrary, deblurring of motion blurred images is a hard problem. Previous methods to deal with this problem have included blind restoration of motion blurred images, optical correction using stabilized lenses, and special CMOS sensors that limit the exposure time in th...

Luminescent hybrid nanoparticles with a paramagnetic Gd2O3 core were applied as contrast agents for both in vivo fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging. These hybrid particles were obtained by encapsulating Gd2O3 cores within a polysiloxane shell which carries organic fluorophores and carboxylated PEG covalently tethered to the inorganic network. Longitudinal proton relaxivities of these p...

Hybrid imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of malignancies at all stages. In this article, we review the most pertinent historical developments, emerging clinical applications of novel radiotracers and imaging technologies, and potential implications for training and practice. This includes an overview of novel tracers for prostate, breast, and neuroendo...
