ERG was one of the earliest recorded biological potential. The first known ERG was recorded by the Swedish physiologist Alarik Frithiof Holmgren, who recorded it in 1865 on an amphibian retina. [12] However, he failed to understand his findings accurately. He thought the responses he recorded were from the optic nerve instead of the retina. [13]
Earliest manifestation [26] Full development [26] Decrease/disappearance [26] Image Stretched/wavy fibres: 1–2 h: Coagulative necrosis: cytoplasmic hypereosinophilia: 1–3 h: 1–3 days; cytoplasmic hypereosinophilia and loss of striations > 3 days: disintegration: Interstitial edema: 4–12 h: Coagulative necrosis: 'nuclear changes' 12–24 ...
Images are acquired after collimated photons are detected by a crystal that gives off a light signal, which is in turn amplified and converted into count data. Scintigraphy ("scint") is a form of diagnostic test wherein radioisotopes are taken internally, for example, intravenously or orally.
Although it is well known that gradient echo imaging can detect hemorrhage, it is best detected with SWI. In the example shown here, the gradient echo image shows the region of likely cytotoxic edema whereas the SW image shows the likely localization of the stroke and the vascular territory affected (data acquired at 1.5 T).

For all structures except the heart, the images are usually taken using a technique called digital subtraction angiography or DSA. Images in this case are usually taken at 2–3 frames per second, which allows the interventional radiologist to evaluate the flow of the blood through a vessel or vessels. This technique "subtracts" the bones and ...
Godfrey Hounsfield, inventor of first CT scanner. Xenon computed tomography is a modern scanning technique that reveals the flow of blood to the areas of the brain. The scan tests for consistent and sufficient blood flow to all areas of the brain by having patients breathe in xenon gas, a contrast agent, to show the areas of high and low blood ...
A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is an optically obtained plethysmogram that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. [1] [2] A PPG is often obtained by using a pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in light absorption. [3]
