Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a technology that uses light emitted by enzyme-catalyzed reactions to report activity at the molecular level. Bioluminescent reporters require a small chemical ...

People with lumbar spinal stenosis will commonly experience pain when the lumbar spine is extended (bent backward) and relief when the lumbar spine is flexed (curved forward). This is because ...

Plain radiographs (X-ray), computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used in the evaluation of lower back pain. While MRI use has increased most over the ...

Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) may be a contributing factor for LBP. Modic change (MC), a distinct phenotype of LDD, is presented as a pathological bone marrow signal change adjacent to vertebral ...

MRI scans could turn dangerous when gadolinium meets common food molecules, forming harmful nanoparticles in the body. A toxic metal used in MRI scans may pose greater health risks than previously ...

In this case, the surgical team uses the results of the lumbar MRI to help plan the operation. If the image is normal, there is no need for action. However, an MRI may not always show that a ...

Retrospective preoperative MRI scans from 115 patients diagnosed with testicular disease through pathology were obtained. A total of 1781 radiomics features were extracted from each lesion on the ...

MRI-derived myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is elevated in the presence of fibrosis, amyloid deposition, inflammation and edema. In patients with cardiac amyloidosis and prolonged T2 ...

The goal for this study was to characterize swine brain development using noninvasive MRI measures of microstructural and cerebrovascular changes. Thirteen pigs at various postnatal ages (2.3–43 ...

Imaging Science is an Interdisciplinary field combining computer science, engineering, and physics to explore image creation, perception, and analysis. Our strong industry partnerships, including the ...
