TL;DR: This chapter describes biomedical applications of infrared microscopic imaging applied to human tissue sections with a central focus is human diseases including cervical cancer, neurodegenerative pathologies, and dysfunctions of cardiac and liver tissues.
Abstract: In this chapter, we describe biomedical applications of infrared microscopic imaging applied to human tissue sections. The central focus is human diseases including cervical cancer, neurodegenerative pathologies, and dysfunctions of cardiac and liver tissues. In addition, we briefly describe the fundamentals of FTIR imaging instrumentation along with spectral pre-processing and hyperspectral image reconstruction. The chapter concludes with a summary of what is required to take FTIR imaging technology into the clinical environment.

TL;DR: Positron emission tomography with CT provides whole body staging as well as the unique imaging characteristic of metabolic activity to aid disease management, and modalities in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer are reviewed.
Abstract: Significant advances in imaging technology have changed the management of pancreatic cancer. In computed tomography (CT), this has included development of multidetector row, rapid, thin-section imaging that has also facilitated the advent of advanced reconstructions, which in turn has offered new perspectives from which to evaluate this disease. In magnetic resonance imaging, advances including higher field strengths, thin-section volumetric acquisitions, diffusion weighted imaging, and liver specific contrast agents have also resulted in new tools for diagnosis and staging. Endoscopic ultrasound has resulted in the ability to provide high-resolution imaging rivaling intraoperative ultrasound, along with the ability to biopsy via real time imaging suspected pancreatic lesions. Positron emission tomography with CT, while still evolving in its role, provides whole body staging as well as the unique imaging characteristic of metabolic activity to aid disease management. This article will review these modalities in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: The technology from virtual brain imaging stage to an imaging of normal human brain (volunteers study) and first imaging results are presented here.
Abstract: Electromagnetic Tomography, when matured, might present an effective supplement to current imaging modalities for fast and mobile diagnostic of stroke and for safe and easy to apply monitoring imaging technology for assessment of perfusion related brain injuries and an efficacy of treatment. We have advanced the technology from virtual brain imaging stage to an imaging of normal human brain (volunteers study). The developed EMT scanner for human brain imaging and first imaging results are presented here.

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors is analogous to ultrasound, measuring the intensity of back-reflected infrared light instead of sound, which is the leading cause of mortality associated with coronary artery disease in the industrialized world.
Abstract: Over the last 50 years the introduction of several imaging technologies have been pivotal in reducing mortality associated with coronary artery disease. However coronary disease continues to be the leading cause of mortality in the industrialized world. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently been introduced for micron scale intravascular imaging. It is analogous to ultrasound, measuring the intensity of back-reflected infrared light instead of sound. Some of the advantages of OCT include its resolution, which is higher than any currently available imaging technology and acquisition rates are near video speed. Unlike ultrasound, OCT catheters consist of simple fiber optics and contain no transducers within their frame, thereby making imaging catheters both inexpensive and small. Currently, the smallest catheters have a cross-sectional diameter of 0.014. OCT systems are compact and portable and can be combined with a range of spectroscopic techniques. We review the application of OCT to intracoronary imaging.
