Computer-assisted detection of lung cancer nudules in medical chest X-rays
Diagnostic medicine was revolutionized in 1895 with Rontgen's discovery of x-rays. X-ray photography has played a very prominent role in diagnostics of all kinds since then and continues to do so. It is true that more sophisticated and successful medical imaging systems are available. These include …

Synthesis And Characterization Of New Gd3+-Containing Complexes As Potential Targeted Contrast Agents For Magnetic Resonance Imaging
… imaging (MRI). MRI is a widely used technique in diagnostic medicine and biomedical research to obtain anatomical and physiological details of soft tissues. Contrast agents are used to enhance the contrast of MR images by causing changes to the chemical environment of water molecules. Clinically …

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE ENGINEERING FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF EMERGING NANOSCALE DEVICES
… displays, quantum computation, as well as diagnostic medicine and imaging. However, only few theoretical investigations have been performed on these structures due to the complex nature of the interplay of atomicity, structural fields, polarization, and quantum size-quantization, all strong …

Synthesis and Chromatography of [RuCp]+-labelled Diaryl Ether Peptoids as Precursors of the Bastadins from the Marine Sponge Ianthella basta
… properties of ruthenium radioisotopes for diagnostic medicine, uses of the air and water-stable [RuCp]+-labelled amino acids and peptides are very limited. For the first time, aminopropyl silica was employed as stationary phase for the purification and separation of [RuCp]+-complexes, using …

Implementation of Novel Group Delay Decomposition Method and Surgical Protocol for Assessing Peripheral Neuropathy
… velocity has potential for use in the field of diagnostic medicine and disease characterization. An accurate reading depends on both the surgical method used to expose the desired nerve without imposing onto it any physical trauma as well as the stimulation protocol used to initiate action …

Syntheses of novel acyclic amino-amido ligands
… NMR-active metal ions for possible use in diagnostic medicine is reported. The key facet to this end is the reported preparation of N,N' ,N''-tris(2-aminoethyl)propane-1,2,3-tricarboxamide (89) by controlled amidation of trimethyl propane 1,2,3-tricarboxylate (88) with ethylenediamine. The …

Improving Signal Clarity through Interference Suppression and Emergent Signal Detection
… and localization, telecommunications, and diagnostic medicine. The goal of most of these applications is to detect or extract a signal of interest. This task is complicated by the presence of interferers and noise, which corrupts the recorded array signals. This dissertation explores two …

EPR of powders, crystals, and clays of MRI contrast agents: zero field splitting and proton relaxation
… resonance imaging) has brought great advances to diagnostic medicine, especially with the use of contrast agent (CA’s) for comparison of images with and without contrast. Since the first use of Gd III CA’s in imaging in the early 1980’s, the chemistry and physics of these CA’s have been studied …

Laser-Matter Interactions at Extreme Irradiance: X-ray Generation and Relativistic Channelling
… use of laser-produced X-rays (above 10~keV) in diagnostic medicine by recording radiographs using image plates. Since 1999, a research project at the High Power Laser Facility concentrates on a new field of research: Relativistic channelling. This involves meticulous control over the laser …

Ambient ionization - mass spectrometry: Advances toward intrasurgical cancer detection
… We envision that TS-MS and DESI-MS could impact diagnostic medicine, for example in providing surgeons with rapid, near real-time information as to tissue disease state, i.e. normal or tumor. Disease state information provided to surgeons about discrete pathologically ambiguous areas, ideally …

Η ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΤΩΝ ΔΟΚΙΜΑΣΙΩΝ ΤΟΥ ΕΜΜΕΣΟΥ ΑΝΟΣΟΦΘΟΡΙΣΜΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΤΗΣ ΕΜΜΕΣΟΥ ΑΙΜΟΣΥΓΚΟΛΛΗΣΕΩΣ ΣΤΗ ΔΙΑΓΝΩΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΥΔΑΤΙΔΩΣΕΩΣ ΤΟΥ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΥ
BOTH METHODS ARE USEFUL FOR THE PRIMARY HYDATIDOSIS AND THE FOLLOW- UP OF THE PATIENTS WITH HEPATIC HYDATIDOSIS. THE TITRES OF ANTIBODIES ARE HIGHER AT THE SECONDARY, LOWER IN THE PULMONARY LOCALIZATION, GENERALLY IN THE PRIMARY INFECTION. THE INDIRECT HAEMAGGLUTINATION (IHA) ASSAY IS MORE …
