Abstract:
In this review, the current imaging methods of assessing tumor perfusion are discussed and compared. Because most of the techniques depend on the administration of contrast agents, we first consider some general principles underlying the fate of contrast agents and their behavior inside the unique vascular environment of tumors.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
