Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

abstract background: a computer aided diagnosis system was established using the wavelet transform and neural network to differentiate malignant from benign in a   group of patients with histo-pathologically proved breast lesions based on the data derived independ­ently from time-intensity profile.   materials and methods: the per­formance of the artificial neural network (ann) was evaluated us...

Background: MR imaging is one of the best diagnostic modalities in medicine. During an MR imaging examination, three types of field are employed to produce images. Various experimental studies have been performed about the effects of each single type of field but only few studies are available on their combination to generate MR imaging. The main objective of this research work is to study the ...

two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, gd-hematoporphyrin (gd-h) and gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (gd tcp), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (mm 138) xenografts. these agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. the reduction of t1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...

background dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce - mri) has been widely used in the management of breast cancer, and its diagnostic value in breast imaging has been demonstrated. there have only been a few reports regarding the usefulness of pre-contrast imaging. knowledge about clinically significant findings of preoperative, pre-contrast t1 and t2 mr images will allow more...

breast cancer is a major public health problem for women in the iran and many other parts of the world. dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce-mri) plays a pivotal role in breast cancer care, including detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. but segmentation of these images which is seriously affected by intensity inhomogeneities created by radio-frequency coils, is a...

breast lesion segmentation in mr images is one of the most important parts of clinical diagnostic tools. pixel classification methods have been frequently used in image segmentation with two supervised and unsupervised approaches up to now. supervised segmentation methods lead to high accuracy, but they need a large amount of labeled data, which is hard, expensive, and slow to be obtained. on t...
