Diffuse fluorescence tomography offers a relatively low-cost and potentially high-throughout approach to preclinical in vivo tumor imaging. The methodology of optical data collection, calibration, and image reconstruction is presented for a computed tomography-guided non-contact time-domain system using fluorescent targeting of the tumor biomarker epidermal growth factor receptor in a mouse glioma model.

The famous X-ray image of Dr. Röntgen's wife's hand from 1895 that sent shock waves through the scientific community looks like most modern day 2D medical X-ray images. Though it is not the newest technology, X-ray absorption...

We describe a method for the stereotactically-guided location, exposure, and ablation of the auditory cortex in rats. The localization of the ablation is assessed using a coordinate map postmortem.
FAQs
Sequential CT scans allow clinicians to check the target and the advancing needle or localization device during the procedure. This ongoing imaging helps maintain the planned trajectory toward the lesion rather than relying only on an initial image or surface landmarks. The result is more controlled placement of a marker near a target that may be difficult to identify directly.
A marker gives the target a recognizable reference for a later biopsy, operation, or other intervention. Ct-guided Localization can place different marker types, including a wire, coil, or dye, near the lesion. Using a marker connects the imaging finding with the treatment field, helping clinicians identify the intended area when direct inspection or palpation provides limited guidance.
The technique is particularly valuable when a lesion is small, deep, or difficult to detect by direct inspection. These characteristics can make the target harder to identify during a subsequent intervention. As imaging detects earlier and less palpable abnormalities, precise pre-intervention marking becomes increasingly important for locating the intended tissue while limiting unnecessary disruption.
The procedure begins by using CT images to identify the target and plan a path toward it. Sequential scans then guide advancement of a needle or localization device along that planned route. After the device places a wire, coil, or dye near the lesion, the marker supports the biopsy, surgery, or other intervention that follows.
Clinicians may choose Ct-guided Localization when the target cannot be reliably found by direct inspection, especially if it is small or positioned deep within tissue. Marking the lesion before the intervention gives the treatment team a defined reference point. This can improve surgical accuracy and help avoid removing or disturbing tissue that is not part of the target.
By linking a CT-identified abnormality to a physical marker, the technique provides information that can guide the next clinical step. The marker helps the team focus a biopsy or operation on the intended lesion and can make treatment planning more precise. Its clinical relevance is greatest for imaging-detected abnormalities that are not easily palpable or directly visible.
