Mayo Clinic's new imaging technology accurately identifies a broad spectrum of liver disease
A new study shows that an imaging technology developed by Mayo Clinic researchers can identify liver fibrosis with high accuracy and help eliminate the need for liver biopsies. Liver fibrosis is a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated in time.   view more (2008-11-03)

Fibromyalgia can no longer be called the 'invisible' syndrome
Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), researchers in France were able to detect functional abnormalities in certain regions in the brains of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, reinforcing the idea that symptoms of the disorder are related to a dysfunction in those parts of... view more (2008-11-03)

WVU study demonstrates efficacy of CT perfusion in diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke
