The integration of contrast-enhanced diagnostic imaging and therapy could utilize image guided therapy to plan treatment strategy. Toward this goal, a unique construction and operation of a pseudo metal based photothermal therapeutic agent (PPAM) is introduced by polyaniline (PANI) generation templated on iron oxide metal nanoclusters (MNCs). Notably, MNC core interferes as a catalytic agent and enables aniline polymerization under ambient acidic conditions.

Methods: To prevent vascular injury in closed hip nailing by identifying the range of distances and angles between deep and superficial femoral arteries (DFAs and SFAs) and distal screws.
Patients And Methods: Forty subjects who underwent computed tomography angiographies were included in this study.
Objective: To evaluate MR imaging of sacrococcygeal chordoma.
Design And Patients: Thirty patients (age range 22-80 years) underwent MR imaging for the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of sacrococcygeal chordomas. Eight patients had follow-up MR examination after treatment.
Study Design: A prospective study of 12 patients with thoracolumbar spinal fractures was conducted.
Objective: To assess the feasibility of ultrasound examination for posterior ligament complex injury in thoracolumbar spinal fractures.
Summary Of Background Data: In posterior ligament complex injury of thoracolumbar spine fracture, the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis has been reported.
