Cystography:This is a procedure where the interior of the urinary bladder is closely studied with x-ray imaging after a dye contrast is injected through the urethral opening. This is useful for ruling out bladder tumors or stones that may lead to blood in urine. ...
Blood clots are diagnosed using imaging such as specialized ultrasound, venography (an x-ray taken after a dye is injected into the vein), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) techniques.6,7 Blood tests may be helpful in determining if a clot exists and for monitorin...
The first experiment assessed whether the procedure opened the blood–brain barrier in vivo. Usingmagnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) and a contrast agent, the researchers confirmed that the barrier opened temporarily and that the opening increased by 4.8-fold in the regions where ultrasound was applied ...
If you want faster results, you could also try an in-office microdermabrasion treatment, which uses grittier diamond-tips and stronger suction that has to be administered by a professional, but has no downtime. Glowing customer review:“I absolutely love this device and would recommend it to ...
In contrast to that intriguing case, the last talk I attended was not very engaging, and bored, I contemplated the wooden writing tablet in front of me.The tablet is the shelf where you rest your notes. It was covered in graffiti incised into the surface with ballpoint pen; a jumble of...
Both MRI and PET need the use of image-contrast agents—expensive isotopes such as 18F, 11C, or 15O in clinical applications and metals such as Gadolinium (GdIII) or iron for MRI—to achieve high sensitivity [137]. Using VNPs as frameworks for creating multivalent imaging sensors has ...
