Recently, various modalities such as coronary computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography have been used to detect vulnerable plaque in coronary arteries and have shown relatively high accuracy.
As proposed recently, new modalities of treatment relying on metronomic scheduling [ 9] and drug repositioning can lead to long term treatment that could turn malignant disease in chronic disease while displaying only limited toxicity [ 33, 34].
Recently, emerging modalities such as hybrid PET/MRI and MRI using nanoparticle contrast agents have been shown to have higher diagnostic value than PET/CT for detecting LN metastases in cervical cancer patients (Rockall et al, 2005; Kim et al, 2009).
Recently, dual-modality systems have been developed, aimed to correlate anatomical and functional information, improving disease localization and helping oncological or surgical treatments.
Recently, different command modalities are available where NMES-assisted stepping can either be triggered with a heel-switch (switch-trigger) or with an electromyogram (EMG -based gait EMG -basedctor (EMgaitiggevent
Most often, computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used; however, recently, other imaging modalities such as functional MRI, MR spectroscopy, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans have been used to visualize the clinically relevant volumes.
CBCT is a recently introduced imaging modality in dentomaxillofacial radiology with increasing applications to paediatric cohorts.
MDCT has recently become the modality of choice for a comprehensive evaluation of patients with acute vascular disease after blunt trauma, completely replacing in the past years angiography, traditionally considered the gold standard, as a diagnostic tool [14].
This is the first time meta-analytical techniques have been used and reported to evaluate the efficacy of interventions used in veterinary behavioural medicine, and it has established confidence in the value of both conventional treatments (pharmacotherapy) and a more recently developed treatment modality (pheromonatherapy) as an adjunct to the management of this problem.
