Sentences with phrase «molecular imaging procedures»

When nuclear medicine and molecular imaging procedures are performed correctly on appropriate patients, the benefits of the procedure very far outweigh the potential risks.

SNMMI Position Statement on Dose Optimization for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Procedures

Radiation dose for all nuclear medicine and molecular imaging procedures should be optimized so that the patient receives the smallest possible amount of radiopharmaceutical that will provide the appropriate diagnostic information.

For this clinical pilot study, researchers imaged subjects undergoing routine molecular imaging procedures such as bone scans or imaging of the thyroid, eye or lymphatic system.

Not exact matches

Now, researchers are hoping to improve this imaging technique, known as molecular breast imaging or breast specific gamma imaging, with better image quality and precise location (depth information) within the breast, while reducing the amount of radiation dose to the patient for these procedures.

Where other diagnostic imaging procedures — such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound — offer pictures of physical structure, molecular imaging allows physicians to see how the body is functioning and to measure its chemical and biological processes.

When the molecular imaging research community improves image standardization, there is a greater likelihood of harmonization; i.e., that a specific imaging procedure can be used as a marker across clinical trials; not simply for one clinical trial.
