Traditional ultrasound imaging monitors the backscattering properties of the object being imaged. Many hybrid imaging techniques such as photo-acoustic imaging, electro-acoustic imaging etc. have been developed to enhance the contrast in imaging. The main objective of this study was to monitor the electrically induced mechanical changes (EIMC) in ultrasound phantoms. Changes in time shifting of the signals and amplitude changes were investigated. Images were formed using a linear array ultrasound probe based on the time-delay estimates and the amplitude changes occurring in the tissue/phantom structure. EIMC in phantoms were found to depend on the applied electric field, gelling agent concentration, and salt concentration. The dependence of EIMC on the various parameters can be explained by the stiffness and fixed charge densities (FCD) of the phantoms. Knowledge gained from experimental results and its future extensions might culminate to form a method to image tissues based on their electrokinetic properties.

Abstract Hybrid imaging represents a combination of two different imaging techniques resulting in a single image that contains all the information provided by the two investigations. Hybrid imaging tends to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis in many diseases. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has unquestionable abilities in highlighting coronary artery diseases (CAD). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also has a powerful predictive role in assessing the functionality of the myocardial tissue. The aim of the study is to develop new imaging markers for a complex evaluation of myocardial viability (MV) after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), using hybrid technology. Material and methods: This study will enroll 100 patients at one month after an AMI. CCTA, MRI, 3D echocardiography, and blood tests will be performed in all patients. All the acquisitions will be processed using a supercomputer, and MV and other parameters will be assessed on hybrid images. A secondary objective will be to correlate the level of inflammatory markers with the outcome of patients, left ventricular function, ischemic time, and the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract Background The purpose of this article is to describe the various imaging techniques involved in detection, staging, and preoperative planning in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) focusing on new imaging modalities. Methods For this purpose, first a brief summary of the etiology of MPM is given. Second, not only the commonly known, but also novel imaging modalities used in MPM will be discussed. Results A wide range of imaging methods, from conventional chest radiography, through computed tomography and hybrid imaging to radiomics and artificial intelligence, can be used to evaluate MPM. Conclusion Nowadays multimodality imaging is considered the cornerstone in MPM diagnosis and staging.
