All patients underwent complete 2-dimensional echocardiography and Doppler studies in the left lateral decubitus position from multipline windows, using commercially available equipment (SONOS 7500, Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Massachusetts) with a phased array transducer of 2.5 MHz, and with a system equipped with Doppler tissue imaging technology.
To follow cell death, from the first symptoms to the disappearance of a cell, requires sophisticated long-term, live-tissue imaging technology.
Over at the National University Medical Institutes, one of the first institutes to implement core services for researchers, specialized microscopists at the Microscopy Center routinely analyze research samples for researchers using the most sophisticated technologies in confocal microscopy and tissue imaging--technologies few individual investigators could afford.
Other efforts to facilitate deep tissue imaging with pre-existing technologies have lead to the development of multimodal nanoparticles which are both optical and MRI active.
Doppler tissue imaging is a new technology for quantitative evaluation of myocardial motion and contractility, and is available in several ultrasound systems.
However, apart from the effectiveness of visualising tumours and surrounding tissues, the utility of imaging technologies in clinical practice is determined by other contextual factors, such as their availability, accessibility and ease of use.
His research is focused on automated image analysis of cell preparations, in vivo tissue imaging, quantitative microscopy, and the development of imaging technologies for the early detection of epithelial cancer types and one of the inventors of the VELScope.
Therefore, combined with advances in Raman spectroscopic technologies for deep tissue imaging [ 39], SWNTs functionalized with antibody specific for tumor cell receptors may be exploited for in vivo specific detection of cancer cells at early stages.
With regard to visualization of tissue morphology in cancer suspect areas, high-resolution imaging technologies, such as confocal microscopy (CM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were tested.
Medical applications of OCT are continuously evolving and OCT has revolutionized the technology of superficial and epithelial tissue imaging.
