Selective activation of the cerebellum (CBL) and basal ganglia (BG), often implicated in movement disorders such as tremor and dystonia, may help identify pathological changes and expedite diagnosis.
Previous studies on kaolin-induced hydrocephalus in rats identified pathological changes that include neuronal cell damage and proliferation of glial cells [13], [14].
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is another method for identifying pathological changes of the retina of PD patients.
In support of this theory, murine studies analyzing the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ob/ob and db/db mice identified pathological changes in the GIT cells.
This combination helps to identify pathological changes in stroke, Alzheimer's, and brain injuries, but traditionally long processing times limit SV to preclinical studies.
Identifying pathological changes and associated pathogens responsible for morbidity and mortality in free-ranging bats is a first step toward understanding the impact of infectious diseases in threatened European bat species.
In the present study skeletal structures could clearly be detected, enabling CT imaging to be a suitable method to teach students and to identify pathological changes of the skeletal system.
In contrast with traditional imaging techniques that are primarily based on gross anatomy structures, molecular imaging can identify pathological changes at the molecular and cellular level, determine the qualitative properties of the diseases, enable objective monitoring of the efficacy of treatment, and predict disease development.
It might also be feasible to use imaging without contrast probes to identify pathological tissue changes by using fiber optic probes with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, a technology that can detect vibrations in chemical bonds (Mackanos and Contag, 2010).
To identify the pathological changes underlying any respiratory complications, we analyzed the diaphragm muscle and the neural network that generates, controls and transmits the respiratory rhythm.
