TL;DR: Legal and medical advances in the determination of death are described emphasizing the role of modern imaging technology in this critical determination.
Abstract: Laws and standards of medical practice with respect to the determination of death have changed dramatically as knowledge of the human body and its detailed cellular functions have increased. This article describes legal and medical advances in the determination of death emphasizing the role of modern imaging technology in this critical determination.

TL;DR: Digitization and transfer of images in Radiodiagnosis and Imaging dates back to to early 70s with the advent of Computerized Tomography Scanning, and, subsequently sending these images to cameras and printers hooked on to the machines through a local “network”.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principle of digital holography, methods of holographic reconstruction, and the advantages and potential applications of this technology in various different fields are discussed. But the authors do not discuss the use of holograms in medical applications.
Abstract: Digital holography, a new imaging technology, has been introduced through the development of computers and CCD technology. We briefly review the basic principle of digital holography, methods of holographic reconstruction, and the advantages and potential applications of this technology in various different fields.

TL;DR: This review surveys the recent literature on the techniques and selection of imaging modalities, new observations regarding the pathophysiology of temporomandibular joint diseases afforded by advances in imaging technology, and my opinions regarding future directions in Imaging technology based on my own experience and a review of the current literature.
Abstract: Imaging of the temporomandibular joint recently has been characterized by a shift in emphasis from plain films, arthrography, and computed tomography toward magnetic resonance imaging. The past year represents the continuation of the era of refinement in magnetic resonance technology not immediately obvious as an advantage for temporomandibular joint imaging but nonetheless, of potential significant impact. A few examples of relatively "quiet" developments include: 1) new alloys for lighter weight permanent magnets with reduced operating costs; 2) gradient coil technology for more rapid image acquisition leading to the possibility of true cine magnetic resonance; and 3) smaller, more powerful computers for more rapid data processing. The implications are for comprehensive anatomic and physiologic assessments of the joint along with increased patient throughput and reduced costs. This review surveys the recent literature on the techniques and selection of imaging modalities, new observations regarding the pathophysiology of temporomandibular joint diseases afforded by advances in imaging technology, and my opinions regarding future directions in imaging technology based on my own experience and a review of the current literature.

TL;DR: This report updates the status of a cross-stakeholder effort to qualify imaging biomarkers, using Volumetric CT as an example that establishes a procedural template that can be applied to other biomarkers.
Abstract: Proliferation of data forthcoming from new ways to understand biology as well as the increasing interest in personalized treatments for smaller patient segments in turn requires new capabilities for the assessment of therapy response While advances in imaging technology over the last decade may present opportunity to meet these needs, deployment of qualified imaging biomarkers lags the apparent technology capabilities allowed by these advances The lack of consensus methods and qualification evidence needed for large-scale multi-center trials, and in turn the standardization that allows them, are widely acknowledged to be the limiting factor The current fragmentation in imaging vendor offerings, coupled by the independent activities of individual biopharmaceutical companies and their CROs, may stand in the way of the greater opportunity were these efforts to be drawn together An integrative activity wherein stakeholders collaborate on the methodology and activity of qualifying mature candidate biomarkers, while encouraging innovative development of new biomarkers with the promise for effective qualification as they mature on the one hand, and innovative therapy development with the ability to rely on cost-effective qualification of biomarkers on the other, may provide a more productive overall structure for the collective industries This report updates the status of a cross-stakeholder effort to qualify imaging biomarkers, using Volumetric CT as an example that establishes a procedural template that can be applied to other biomarkers A preliminary report of the Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA) activity was presented at the DIA meeting in October 2008 [1] The clinical context in Lung Cancer and a methodology for approaching the qualification of volumetric CT as a biomarker of response has been reported [2,3] The long-term goal of the committee is to qualify the quantification of anatomical structures with x-ray computed tomography (CT) as biomarkers The group selected solid tumors of the chest in subjects with lung cancer as its first case-in-point The rationale for selecting lung cancer included the fact that the systems engineering analysis, groundwork, profile claims documents, and roadmaps for biomarker qualification in this specific setting can serve as a general paradigm for eventually qualifying other imaging biomarkers as well This report addresses the question of how this procedural template is applied and how it may be used for other quantitative imaging biomarkers as a methodology
