We used the 3-D configuration to demonstrate the performance of the combined diffuse fluorescence and optical tomography.
Hazard rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models to assess associations between reproductive factors and all B-cell NHL combined, diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, follicular lymphomas, and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias/small lymphocytic lymphomas.
Our results showed that the combined diffuse optics-ultrasound technique is viable to follow (CVR) and rCMRO2 changes in adults, continuously, at the bed-side and in real time.
This study demonstrates the potential of using combined diffuse optical spectroscopies (i.e., NIRS/DCS) to comprehensively evaluate tissue oxygen and flow kinetics in skeletal muscle.
Figure 12 illustrates the combined diffuse projection from each cortical area.
Thus the combined diffusing capacity for NO and CO may play a future role for the non-invasive, functional assessment of structural alterations of the lung in CF. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by the combined findings of bronchiectasis and parenchymal fibrosis, which may affect lung diffusing capacity.
The suitability of NO diffusing capacity is in line with previous observations in healthy subjects or patients with other diseases than CF [ 25] and renders it a challenging question of whether the combined diffusing capacity for NO and CO has a potential to be included in the assessment of CF. In this respect, the conclusions of this retrospective cross-sectional study can only be limited.
Different patterns of 99mTc-MIBI uptake have been described with multiple myeloma (negative, diffuse, focal, combined focal and diffuse) and semiquantitative evaluation of these patterns showed a significant correlation with clinical status and stage of the disease [ 20].
Five different patterns of bone marrow infiltration in multiple myeloma have been identified on MR imaging, including a normal appearing marrow, focal infiltration, diffuse disease, salt-and-pepper involvement or combined focal and diffuse infiltration (Fig 9) [35] 35].
