The diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) and monitoring of therapy in many
patients relies mainly on morphological imaging techniques such as computed tomography …

INTRODUCTION: Positron emission tomography (PET) with F18 Flurodeoxyglucose (FDG)
has been evaluated and found to be a useful diagnostic tool in a certain number of …

In photoacoustic tomography (PAT), a tunable laser typically illuminates the tissue at
multiple wavelengths, and the received photoacoustic waves are used to form functional …

Currently, there is no adequate technology to detect early stage ovarian cancers. Most of the
cancers in the ovary are detected when the cancer has already metastasized to other parts …

Elevated contents of choline phospholipid metabolites are typically detected by nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in human and animal tumors. An increase in the …

Abstract Integrated FDG-PET/CT has been used successfully for the diagnosis, staging,
restaging, therapy monitoring and prognostic prediction of ovarian cancer as well as various …

Purpose The role of 18 F-FDG PET has been studied in ovarian carcinoma, but its sensitivity
and specificity calculations are based on dedicated PET acquisition, not PET/CT in the …

Unique features and the underlining hypotheses of how these features may relate to the
tumor physiology in coregistered ultrasound and photoacoustic images of ex vivo ovarian …

The most frequently used molecular imaging technique is currently 18F-deoxy-glucose
(FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). FDG-PET holds promise in the evaluation of …

Coregistered ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic imaging are emerging techniques for
mapping the echogenic anatomical structure of tissue and its corresponding optical …
