Modern healthcare is experiencing a significant transformation, utilizing technology to improve patient outcomes and make processes more efficient. Breast cancer, being the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women globally, requires innovative approaches for effective management. Digital Therapeutics (DTx) and Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) have emerged as pivotal technologies, offering personalized, patient-centered care and optimizing clinical decision-making.

The aim of this study is to prospectively assess the feasibility of this advanced OCT probe in interpreting ex vivo images of colorectal polyp tissue and to identify necessary steps for further development.
Methods: A total of 13 colorectal lesions from 9 patients, removed during endoscopic resection, were imaged ex vivo with the OCT device and compared with histopathological images that served as the gold standard for diagnostics.
The retention of the covalent binding of an organometalllic rhenium complex as a model for a technetium-99m imaging agent, to a protein at physiological body temperature 37 °C is described. Detailed structure comparisons are made to the related 100 K crystal structure. The generality of the need for this sort of analytical procedure for guiding ligand lead compound discovery is emphasised.
