Radiomics: extracting more information from medical images using advanced feature analysis.

TL;DR: Radiomics--the high-throughput extraction of large amounts of image features from radiographic images--addresses this problem and is one of the approaches that hold great promises but need further validation in multi-centric settings and in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of NIR dyes in cancer targeting and imaging.

TL;DR: It is believed these newly developed multifunctional NIR dyes will broaden current concept of tumor targeted imaging and hold promise to make an important contribution to the diagnosis and therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanomaterials for In Vivo Imaging

TL;DR: This work addresses the physicochemical makeup/design of nanomaterials through the lens of the physical properties that produce contrast signal for the cognate imaging modality-the authors stratify nanommaterials on the basis of their (i) magnetic, (ii) optical, (iii) acoustic, and/or nuclear properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoacoustic imaging in cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment guidance

TL;DR: The role of photoacoustics and photoacoustic-augmented imaging techniques in comprehensive cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment guidance is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined T2-Weighted and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Localization of Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Combined T2 and DWI MRI is better than T2 imaging alone in the detection of significant cancer within the peripheral zone of the prostate.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoshell-mediated near-infrared thermal therapy of tumors under magnetic resonance guidance

TL;DR: In vivo studies under magnetic resonance guidance revealed that exposure to low doses of NIR light in solid tumors treated with metal nanoshells reached average maximum temperatures capable of inducing irreversible tissue damage, and found good correlation with histological findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Image Formation by Induced Local Interactions: Examples Employing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

TL;DR: An image of an object may be defined as a graphical representation of the spatial distribution of one or more of its properties as a result of interaction with a matter or radiation field characterized by a wavelength comparable to or smaller than the smallest features to be distinguished.
Journal ArticleDOI

New guidelines to evaluate the response to treatment in solid tumors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions (to be measured) and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment.
