Radiologists, medical physicists work to make imaging procedures safer
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) reaffirmed its commitment to patient safety today in responding to a study and accompanying perspective on radiation dose from medical imaging procedures in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). view more (2009-08-28)
Blood-flow metabolism mismatch predicts pancreatic tumor aggressiveness
Researchers from Turku, Finland, have identified a blood-flow glucose consumption mismatch that predicted pancreatic tumor aggressiveness, according to results of a study published in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2009-08-26)
Surprising results in teen study: adolescent risky behavior may signal mature brain
A new study using brain imaging to study teen behavior indicates that adolescents who engage in dangerous activities have frontal white matter tracts that are more adult in form than their more conservative peers. view more (2009-08-26)
Scripps Research, UCSD, and University of Oslo team ties genetic variations to brain size
Using advanced brain imaging and genomics technologies, an international team of researchers co-led by Scripps Research Institute scientists has shown for the first time that natural variations in a specific gene influence brain structure. view more (2009-08-19)
Iterative reconstruction technique significantly reduces patient radiation dose during CT scans
Computed tomography (CT) scans are responsible for more than two thirds of the total radiation dose associated with medical imaging exams. view more (2009-08-19)
To understand the universe, science calls on the ultrasmall
Will the universe expand outward for all of eternity and end in a vast, dark, cold, sterile, diffuse nothingness? Or will the "Big Bang" - the gargantuan explosion that formed the universe 14 billion years ago - end in the "Big Crunch?" view more (2009-08-17)
MRI may be unnecessary prior to treatment in most newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
New research findings published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons challenge the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a means to improve surgical outcomes in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. view more (2009-08-14)
A Window into the Brain
When we absorb new information, the human brain reshapes itself to store this newfound knowledge. But where exactly is the new knowledge kept, and how does that capacity to adapt reflect our risk for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of senile dementia later in our lives? view more (2009-08-13)
Bladder cells feel stretch
Japanese research group led by Prof. Makoto Tominaga and Dr. Takaaki Sokabe (National Institute for Physiological Sciences: NIPS), and Prof. Masayuki Takeda, Dr. Isao Araki and Dr. Tsutomu Mochizuki (Yamanashi Univ.), found that bladder urothelial cells have a sensor for stretch stimulation. view more (2009-08-07)
MRI May Help Physicians Diagnose, Stage and Treat Diabetes
Noninvasive imaging (MRI) may aid physicians in the early diagnosis, staging and treatment of diabetes, according to a study performed at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. view more (2009-08-06)
Seeing the Cosmos Through
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has taken its first shots of the cosmos since warming up and starting its second career. The infrared telescope ran out of coolant on May 15, 2009, more than five-and-half-years after launch, and has since warmed to a still-frosty 30 Kelvin (about minus 406 Fahrenheit). view more (2009-08-06)
New experiment could reveal make-up of the universe
The detectors will become part of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) experiment, currently based in Italy, which aims to create a 'fingerprint' of the inside of the atomic nucleus to understand the structure of all matter in the Universe, including human beings and the stars. view more (2009-08-06)
Nanoparticles cross blood-brain barrier to enable 'brain tumor painting'
Brain cancer is among the deadliest of cancers. It's also one of the hardest to treat. view more (2009-08-04)
Brain difference in psychopaths identified
Professor Declan Murphy and colleagues Dr Michael Craig and Dr Marco Catani from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have found differences in the brain which may provide a biological explanation for psychopathy. view more (2009-08-04)
PET Can Help Guide Treatment Decisions for a Common Pediatric Cancer
A new study published in the August issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine shows that positron emission tomography (PET) is an important tool for depicting the extent of neuroblastoma in some patients, particularly for those in the early stages of the disease. view more (2009-08-03)
New chemical imaging technique could help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research
A new chemical imaging technique could one day help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research published in the August 2009 edition of the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. view more (2009-07-31)
The 15-Minute Genome 2009 Industrial Physics Forum features faster, cheaper genome sequencing
In the race for faster, cheaper ways to read human genomes, Pacific Biosciences is hoping to set a new benchmark with technology that watches DNA being copied in real time. view more (2009-07-28)
All-in-one nanoparticle: A Swiss Army knife for nanomedicine
Nanoparticles are being developed to perform a wide range of medical uses -- imaging tumors, carrying drugs, delivering pulses of heat. Rather than settling for just one of these, researchers at the University of Washington have combined two nanoparticles in one tiny package. view more (2009-07-28)
Can brain scans read your mind?
Can neuroscience read people's minds? Some researchers, and some new businesses, are banking on a brain imaging technique known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal hidden thoughts, such as lies, truths or deep desires. view more (2009-07-23)
Twinkling nanostars cast new light into biomedical imaging
Purdue University researchers have created magnetically responsive gold nanostars that may offer a new approach to biomedical imaging. view more (2009-07-22)
