The noble gases have always been an enigma. Discovered late in the history of chemistry
and in seemingly small quantities in our atmosphere, they are some of the most unreactive …

Over the past few years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an important
instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The aim of this review is to summarize …

Concise yet comprehensive, the Biomedical Technology and Devices Handbook illuminates
the equipment, devices, and techniques used in modern medicine to diagnose, treat, and …

PURPOSE: To prospectively study the impact of 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron
emission tomography (PET) on clinical management of patients with non–small-cell lung …

Carcinoma of the lung is one of the most frequent malignancies and a major cause of
mortality. The use of positron emission tomography (PET) has been extensively investigated …

Shikonin has been reported to exhibit high affinity toward lung cells and recited to inhibit the
migration and invasion of lung cancer cells and suppress their growth. Shikonin cause …

A method is described for identifying tumor tissue by means of FTIR microspectroscopy and
positron emission tomography (PET). Thin tissue sections of human squamous carcinoma …

The staging of non-small lung cancer has to be performed in an interdisciplinary approach
considering all clinical, radiological and histologic results. The staging using imaging …

This work reports a multispectral tomography technique in transmission mode (called 3DITI
