Cardiac ultrasound imaging goes to handheld
Cardiac ultrasound imaging, also known as echocardiography, has been recently challenged by several new imaging methods. view more (2008-09-02)
New detectors for nuclear, radiological material in cargo should not be acquired until testing deficiencies fixed, cost-benefit analysis completed
A thorough cost-benefit analysis that includes an assessment of meaningful alternatives is needed to reveal the potential security advantages of deploying new detector systems to screen cargo for nuclear and radiological materials at U.S. ports and border crossings. view more (2009-06-25)
CT and ultrasound equally valuable in diagnosing pelvic pain in women
CT and ultrasound are both valuable first-line cross-sectional imaging tools to detect the cause of acute pelvic pain in non-pregnant women and the need for surgery in these patients, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA. view more (2006-05-01)
Space science technology takes airport security onto new level
A ground-breaking 'drive-through' scanner which screens for radioactive material is being developed to improve security at airports, ports and other significant buildings, thanks to a £99,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation which invests in UK innovation. view more (2004-10-19)
Handheld DNA detector
A researcher at the National University at San Diego has taken a mathematical approach to a biological problem - how to design a portable DNA detector. view more (2008-03-11)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
Greater use of in-patient diagnostic imaging improves patient outcomes without significantly impacting costs
Hospitals that make greater use of inpatient diagnostic imaging exams achieve lower in-hospital mortality rates with little or no impact on costs. view more (2009-10-29)
Iowa State physicist leads team designing detector for international particle collider
John Hauptman stood before an international gathering of particle physicists and announced he had another idea. One that was different. One that was simpler. And best of all, one that he was sure would work. view more (2007-04-16)
MR imaging helps predict recurrence in prostate cancer patients
MR images taken of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment that show that the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland capsule help predict whether the cancer will return. view more (2007-05-07)
Sensitive nanowire disease detectors made by Yale scientists
Yale scientists have created nanowire sensors coupled with simple microprocessor electronics that are both sensitive and specific enough to be used for point-of-care (POC) disease detection, according to a report in Nano Letters. view more (2008-10-13)
Ice Volcanoes on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the University of Potsdam have found ice volcanoes-or what could be called "ice geysers"-on the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. view more (2006-03-15)
3-D imaging -- first insights into magnetic fields
3-D images are not only useful in medicine; the observation of internal structures is also invaluable in many other fields of scientific investigation. view more (2008-03-31)
Ultrasound more cost efficient than other medical imaging choices
In comparing ultrasound with other medical imaging methods such as MRI and CT scans, a literature review of published studies in the May/June issue of Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JDMS) describes the use of ultrasound to provide an accurate diagnosis more cost effectively than the alternatives. view more (2009-05-21)
Astronomers use ultra-sensitive camera to measure size of planet orbiting star
A team of astronomers led by John Johnson of the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy has used a new technique to measure the precise size of a planet around a distant star. They used a camera so sensitive that it could detect the passage of a moth in front of a lit window from a distance of 1,000 miles. view more (2008-12-11)
Chameleon particles from the Sun
The Sun emits electron-neutrinos, elementary particles of matter that have no electric charge and very little mass, created in vast numbers by the thermonuclear reactions that fuel our parent star. Since the early 1970s, several experiments have detected neutrinos arriving on Earth, but they have found only a fraction of the number expected from... view more... (2002-04-22)
Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear. view more (2008-08-29)
Questions over accuracy of MRI in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
The accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not sufficient to rule in or rule out a diagnosis of MS with a high degree of certainty, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-24)
NIST/University Team Records Rare Glimpses of Light from Neutrons
Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter. view more (2006-12-21)
Precision measurement of W boson mass portends stricter limits for Higgs particle
Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved the world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson by a single experiment. Combined with other measurements, the reduced uncertainty of the W boson mass will lead to stricter bounds on the mass of the elusive Higgs... view more... (2009-03-12)
Nottingham project to improve treatment for patients with incurable blood disease
The new Sickle Cell Anaemia Detector research project, being launched today by MP Paul Boateng, has been funded with a £237,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund - £112,000 of which will be coming to Nottingham - and involves partners at Imperial College and the Sickle Cell Society. view more (2005-04-01)
