Imaging

A method has been developed whereby diffusion and exchange in micro cellular structures in the human brain are correlated to produce a new type of image contrast leading to determination of water exchange rates in vivo. The diffusion method relies on differential apparent diffusion coefficients as detectable nuclei exchange between...

Proteases play important roles during tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Various molecular imaging techniques have been employed for protease imaging: optical (both fluorescence and bioluminescence), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). In this review, we will summarize the current status of imaging...

Objective: To compare the radiological (X-ray) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the sacroiliac (SI) joints in patients with early spondylarthropathy (SpA). Methods: Forty consecutive HLA B27 antigen positive patients with early SpA and inflammatory low back pain (LBP) were studied. Their SI joints were investigated by posterior anterior plain...
