Comprehensive volumetric optical microscopy in vivo

Article Abstract:

A fiber-optic imaging technique termed optical frequency-domain imaging (OFDI) that allows acquiring high-resolution cross-sectional images through flexible narrow-diameter catheters is used to show microscopy of esophageal mucosa and of coronary arteries in vivo. The results suggest that this technology might be a useful clinical tool for comprehensive diagnostic imaging for epithelial disease and for evaluating coronary pathology and iatrogenic effects.

Volumetric computed tomography (VCY): A new technology for noninvasive, high-resolution monitoring of tumor angiogenesis

Article Abstract:

Volumetric computed tomography (VCT) is a technology in which area detectors are used for imaging large volumes of a subject with isotropic imaging resolution and this technique was used to demonstrate microangiography of xeno-transplanted skin sqamous cell carcinomas in nude mice. VCT substantially improves imaging of vascularization in tumors and offers a promising tool for preclinical studies of tumor angiogenesis and antiangiogenic therapies.

Noninvasive detection of macrophages using a nanoparticulate contrast agent for computed tomography

Article Abstract:

This article shows how macrophages, which are vital elements of the immune system, in a rabbit can be seen with a clinical x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner after being injected with a compound of iodinated nanoparticles. This study is done so that on early detection of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries, the patient may have some chance of survival and recovery.
