The integration of different medical imaging modalities for a single patient can be useful for operations, such as to automatically restaging a condition by comparing the scan from today against the one taken from the previous years, or to predict disease progression.
Soft tissue structures such as muscles, vascular tissues and nerves are significantly better visualized on MRI, and image-fusion techniques have been developed to combine the advantages in reconstruction of different imaging modalities into a single specimen [2, 3].
Inclusion of multiple CAM modalities in a single study risks tempting potential participants to sign up for the study in the hope of receiving a desired treatment, and then dropping out if they receive a different treatment.
We are unaware of previous research examining the acute effects in individuals with type 1 diabetes of combining these exercise modalities in a single session or whether there is an advantage related to the order in which they are undertaken.
This dual-imaging modality approach provides a better understanding of the underlying disease by fusing both modalities into a single view.
Chemotherapeutic agents can be used in combination with the other modalities or as a single modality.
This study aimed to first, to analyse the factors that would affect the choice between different treatment modalities for replacement of a single missing tooth and second, to evaluate patients' satisfaction with the prosthodontic treatment they received.
The present work investigates preliminary feasibility and characteristics of a new type of radiation therapy modality based on a single convergent beam of photons.
Moreover, multimodality molecular imaging should be used to overcome limitations in the imaging quality of a single modality.
The results of the psychophysical analysis showed that AM detection thresholds for the simultaneous AM conditions (i.e., SAME and DIFF) were significantly higher (i.e., lower sensitivity) than AM detection thresholds for the stimulation of a single modality (i.e., NONE).
Some have suggested that the strength of a single modality on perceptual judgment depends on the attention it is given [27], which in the present case could explain the different pattern of age-related differences in the two illusory categories.
