OBJECTIVE We sought to identify pretreatment neuroimaging markers associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke. METHODS A literature review using available online medical literature databases was performed to identify noninvasive imaging markers correlated with ICH after reperfusion therapy. Key words, including different neuroimaging moda...

Objective: Each imaging technique has a special application and usage, and should be used in the right situation. Physicians choose the type of imaging technique by considering the type of tissue and the benefits and disadvantages of the imaging method as well as its financial burden on the patient. The aim of this study was to estimate the cost of imaging tests performed in the emergency depar...

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) can serve as an excellent imaging modality for the musculoskeletal clinician. Although MRI is more commonly ordered in the United States for musculoskeletal problems, both of these imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages and can be viewed as complementary rather than adversarial. For diagnostic US, relative recent advances in technology have improved...

There is no set protocol for imaging prostate cancer, and a selection of a particular modality (TRUS, CT or MRI) often depends on the equipment and local expertise available. None of the imaging modality is perfect and a judicious combination provides the best results. MR imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging are powerful new tools for the local anatomic and metabolic evaluation of prostate canc...

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer precursors require frequent monitoring for risk stratification of patients. Automated segmentation methods can help to assess areas more accurately, and assist in therapeutic procedures or even removal. In clinical practice, addition the conventional white-light imaging (WLI), complimentary modalities such as narrow-band (NBI) fluorescence are used. While, today mos...

Intra-operative ultrasound has become a relevant imaging modality in neurosurgical procedures. While B-mode, with its intrinsic limitations, is still considered the primary modality, intra-operative contrast-enhanced (ioCEUS) more recently emerged as powerful tool neurosurgery. Though not used on large scale, ioCEUS proven utility defining tumor boundaries, identifying lesion vascular supply an...
