TL;DR: The use of thermal imagery is described to assess the effectiveness of curriculum protocols in handling stress when learning technology based surgery and how complementary measures to self-reported scales can be used to triangulate results and reduce common method variance.
Abstract: Information Systems (IS) researchers rely heavily on self-report measures, especially when studying the use, impact and adoption of Information Technology(IT). Recently psycho physiological and neuro physiological tools have been presented as an efficient way to gather measures and improve IS theory. The study presents thermal imaging as a technology that can be used to uncover different dimensions of IT constructs such as mental strain in high-tech contexts. Mental strain is an important factor in understanding the effects of using a new IT. Such complementary measures to self-reported scales can be used to triangulate results and reduce common method variance. In this paper we describe the use of thermal imagery to assess the effectiveness of curriculum protocols in handling stress when learning technology based surgery. Practical applications of the use of thermal imagery are then presented and discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the available imaging methods, including cross-sectional, non-invasive, multiplanar imaging techniques such as gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA), and nonenhanced helical or multislice computed tomography (CT).
Abstract: Recent advances in imaging technology and interventional radiologic procedures have resulted in an increased variety of radiological techniques that can be used to assess patients who present with renal failure and require renal replacement therapy. This chapter provides an overview of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the available imaging methods. In particular, it covers the expanding role of the cross-sectional, noninvasive, multiplanar imaging techniques such as gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA), and nonenhanced helical or multislice computed tomography (CT). These imaging methods are increasingly replacing those used in the past, such as the conventional radiographic urogram, which requires a high dose of intravenous contrast media, and digital subtraction arteriography. The chapter also covers the radiologic investigation of complications of acquired renal cystic disease, including renal cell carcinoma, hemorrhage, cyst infection and rupture, and nephrolithiasis.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis, encapsulation within tumor targeting silica nanoparticles and applications in in vivo tumor imaging of optoacoustic contrast agents are reported, which is a new biomedical imaging technology with clear benefits over traditional optical imaging and ultrasound.
Abstract: Optoacoustic imaging is a new biomedical imaging technology with clear benefits over traditional optical imaging and ultrasound. While the imaging technology has improved since its initial development, the creation of dedicated contrast agents for optoacoustic imaging has been stagnant. Current exploration of contrast agents has been limited to standard commercial dyes that have already been established in optical imaging applications. While some of these compounds have demonstrated utility in optoacoustic imaging, they are far from optimal and there is a need for contrast agents with tailored optoacoustic properties. The synthesis, encapsulation within tumor targeting silica nanoparticles and applications in in vivo tumor imaging of optoacoustic contrast agents are reported.

TL;DR: A novel 2D strain imaging technology is introduced, its fundamental concepts are explained, and clinical applications with all the major advantages and limitations are discussed.
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography is the most common imaging modality used to assess left ventricular (LV) myocardial function. Although the studies revealed useful conclusions, there are some limitations with the conventional measurement of ejection fraction. Two dimensional (2D) strain imaging is newer echocardiographic technique which is utilized for the evaluation of quantitative regional ventricular functions. Velocity vector imaging based- 2D strain imaging is the most recent technology with a few advantages sourced by its software. This review introduces a novel 2D strain imaging technology, explains its fundamental concepts and discusses clinical applications with all the major advantages and limitations.
