<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT allows the direct measurement of metabolic tumor burden in a variety different malignancies. The aim this study was to assess whether volume (MTV) determined by could be used prediction progression-free and overall survival multiple myeloma patients. <b>Methods:</b> Forty-seven patients (18 women, 29 men; mean age ± SD, 63 11 y) with stage IIIA disease who had undergone whole-body were retrospectively evaluated. Images underwent 3-dimensional region-of-interest...
A fully automated magnetic resonance (MR) segmentation method for identification and volume measurement of demyelinated white matter has been developed. Spin-echo MR brain scans were performed in 38 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) 46 healthy subjects. Segmentation normal tissues lesions (WML) was obtained, based on their relaxation rates proton density maps. For WML identification, additional criteria included three-dimensional (3D) lesion shape surrounding tissue composition....

At the Department of Physics University Pisa, Italy, a new and fully engineered version YAP-(S)PET small animal scanner has been recently installed. The is able to perform both PET SPECT studies on animals. made up four heads: each one composed 4/spl times/4 cm/sup 2/ YAlO/sub 3/:Ce (or YAP:Ce) matrix 20/spl times/20 elements, 2/spl times/2/spl times/25 mm/sup 3/ each, coupled Position Sensitive Photomultiplier (PS-PMT) (Hamamatsu R2486). modules are positioned rotating gantry. switching...
A Riemannian manifold optimization strategy is proposed to facilitate the relaxation of orthonormality constraint in a more natural way course performing independent component analysis (ICA) that employs mutual information-based source-adaptive contrast function. Despite extensive development techniques catering constraint, only limited number works have been dedicated oblique (OB) algorithms intrinsically handle normality which has empirically shown be superior other and Euclidean...
This work addresses some key challenges in the fields of bio and nanophotonics by stimulated Raman microscopy.We present design implementation a femtosecond scattering microscope, equipped with three laser sources, which allows coexistence gain (SRG) stimulate losses (SRL) detection modes single microscopy setup to generate images same region succession, without adding or removing components.In order demonstrate switching between two modes, SRL SRG polystyrene beads are acquired quality...
In 16 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD; NINDS criteria, age range 56–78 years), gray matter (GM), white (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absolute fractional volumes were measured an unsupervised multiparametric post-processing segmentation method based on estimates of relaxation rates R1, R2 (R1 = 1/T1; 1/T2) proton density [N(H)] from conventional spin-echo studies (Alfano et al. Magn. Reson. Med. 1997;37:84–93). Global brain atrophy, GM WM fractions significantly...

Double-sided microstrip silicon crystals are tested as detectors for X-rays in the diagnostic energy range (10-100 keV) digital radiography. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and CAMAC-based acquisition system is developed to study imaging capabilities of a mu strip detector with 100- 200- m read-out pitch. The first images submillimeter high contrast phantoms obtained an X-ray mammography tube operating at flux density presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
