Fusing physics with medicine to fight cancer
Everyone's lives are touched by cancer - it is a disease that affects 1 in 3 of us throughout our lifetime. Future developments that lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective therapy lie in further successful collaboration between high energy physicists and the healthcare industry. view more (2005-04-28)
Deep Organ Image MR Scan Development
Oxford Researchers have developed a new, simple, design of accessory MR surface coil which significantly enhances the quality and clarity of deep organ MRI images. A new design of magnetic resonance imaging surface coil has been developed in which the location, size and improved homogeneity of the magnetic field within the, so called, "sweet... view more...

Radiologists overestimate their overall risk of malpractice lawsuits in breast imaging
Radiologists who work in breast imaging tend to overestimate their actual risk of medical malpractice lawsuits, according to a study performed at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle, WA. view more (2009-02-03)
Brain imaging studies show attention to thinking in schizophrenia improves outlook for patients
A focus on schizophrenia as 'a disorder of thinking' promises much for patients with the condition, according to Dr Tonmoy Sharma, Head of the Section of Cognitive Psychopharmacology (SCP) at the Institute of Psychiatry. In a presentation to journalists during Brain Awareness Week, Dr Sharma outlined new research showing the importance of... view more... (1999-03-16)
Scientists design a tool for detection of rogue molecules “on the run”
A research group of the Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, MC2, at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has developed an ultra-sensitive device for detecting the presence of organic molecules present in space. Organic material as far away from us as many thousands of light years can be discovered this way. The sensor, which... view more... (2002-04-16)
NEW TECHNIQUE SHOWS DEATH OF HEART CELLS IN HEART-ATTACK PATIENTS (P 209)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, researchers from the Netherlands describe a new imaging technique capable of pinpointing areas of cell death in the hearts of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). In acute myocardial infarction, the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off. When blood flow is restored, heart... view more... (2000-07-12)
Imaging features of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas
The intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) can evolve through all biological stages, from slight dysplasia to carcinoma. view more (2009-09-16)
'Dead time' limits quantum cryptography speeds
Quantum cryptography is potentially the most secure method of sending encrypted information, but does it have a speed limit" According to a new paper by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), technological and security issues will stall maximum transmission rates at... view more...

Study finds rise in rate of diagnostic imaging in managed care
Use of radiology imaging tests has soared in the past decade with a significant increase in newer technologies, according to a new study that is the first to track imaging patterns in a managed care setting over a substantial time period. view more (2008-11-10)
Decision-making by residents on-call has 'miniscule' negative impact on patient care
The study consisted of the review of approximately 12,000 emergency diagnostic imaging exams that were interpreted after hours by residents. view more (2007-09-24)
Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease. view more (2005-08-19)
Mammography plus sonography can help rule out breast cancer in patients with palpable lesions
When mammography and sonography are used together to evaluate palpable breast lesions, they can rule out cancers in most patients, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Baystate Health in Springfield, MA. However, uncommonly, malignancies cannot be diagnosed using this imaging protocol. view more (2008-04-14)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Allows Radiologists to See Areas of the Brain Rarely Seen Using Other Imaging Modalities
Radiologists are now able to look at parts of the brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that are rarely visible with any other imaging method, according to a study performed at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA.

Bioluminescence imaging used for eye cancer detection
At the moment, doctors rely on biopsy analysis to determine the progression of eye cancer. However, researchers now believe that a new technology, bioluminescence imaging (BLI), will allow doctors to detect tumors earlier and quickly choose a method of treatment that doesn't necessarily involve eye surgery. view more (2009-10-14)
