Newer imaging techniques from MRI to musculoskeletal system diseases

Recent developments in rapidly evolving areas of functional imaging, such as molecular diffusion-based MRI techniques (DWI) and perfusion Imaging (PMRI), have now focused on qualitative and quantitative evaluation of tissue functional characteristics, such as blood filtration, because the development and function of many organs is directly related to and consistently with this disease. These techniques, after proper mathematical processing, provide information on blood supply in a macroscopic and microscopicistic environment. For this reason, the development and verification of non-invasive tools for the measurement of blood flow is of great importance in clinical practice.The aim of the research proposal is the possible correlation of the blood flow parameters resulting from the above two techniques. The two groups of patients and diseases to be studied are diabetic foot and soft tissue neoplasms. In diabetic foot, underlying arterial disease results in tissue ischemia. In soft tissue neoplasms, neoangiogenesis is associated with the tissue origin and aggression of the tumor and therefore to prognosis. The data so far in recent literature have not been integrated into an environment of clinical everyday life as they are not acquired knowledge for all medical staff. This research will allow the selection of a simplified and short display protocol maintaining its diagnostic value to the full. The proposed action is framed by a well-formed system of organised information management in order to eliminate the risk of misuse and ensure its use by users with varying degrees of familiarity with the underlying physical principles that govern these imaging techniques.
