Academy Medal for MRI Pioneer
Professor Ian Young, OBE, FREng, FRS, one of the pioneers of the diagnostic engineering technology Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has won this year's prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Sir Frank Whittle Medal. This year awarded for 'engineering innovations in medicine', and presented to Professor Young to recognise his contributions to the... view more... (2004-06-10)
New technique that scrambles light may lead to sharper images, wider views
When photographers zoom in on an object to see it better, they lose the wide-angle perspective -- they are forced to trade off "big picture" context for detail. But now an imaging method developed by Princeton researchers could lead to lenses that show all parts of the scene at once in the same high detail. The new method could help... view more...

Seismic research without artificial source
Researchers at TU Delft have made progress in the theoretical foundation of a special subsoil imaging technique. This technique could be used to chart underground mineral resources, it is called "acoustic daylight imaging". The method uses natural acoustic signals, already present in the earth, to create an image of the subsurface... view more... (2004-12-21)
Scientists find that individuals in vegetative states can learn
Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness. view more (2009-09-21)
Neuroimaging provides insights into new treatment options for Alzheimer's disease
With about 35 million people around the world suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) by the year 2010 and an expectation that these numbers will double every twenty years with approximately 115 million cases by 2050, pressure on healthcare systems worldwide will be intense. view more (2009-11-11)
Radioactivity: Discover the lowest amounts with new methods
Detecting ever lower amounts of ionising radiation with ever better methods - sci-entists have had this goal since the start of the nuclear age. view more (2008-09-17)
MiniBooNE findings clarify the behavior of neutrinos
The initial data from the 10-year long "MiniBooNE" experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab significantly clarifies the overall picture of how the neutrino fundamental particles behave. view more (2007-04-12)

Scientists at Stanford University and Japan's National Institute of Informatics have created a new highly sensitive infrared spectrometer. view more (2008-11-13)
SMART-1 uses new imaging technique in lunar orbit
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit. view more (2005-12-27)
New screening technologies improve detection of polyps during colonoscopy
Two studies presented at the American College of Gastroenterology's 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando highlight new technologies with the potential to improve the detection of colorectal polyps and flat lesions during colonoscopy. view more (2008-10-06)
Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza. view more (2007-01-02)
MIT scientists create fiber webs that see
In a radical departure from conventional lens-based optics, MIT scientists have developed a sophisticated optical system made of mesh-like webs of light-detecting fibers. view more (2006-07-18)
University of Colorado student-built instrument set to launch on Pluto mission
The University of Colorado at Boulder's long heritage with NASA planetary missions will continue Jan. 17 with the launch of a student space dust instrument on the New Horizons Mission to Pluto from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. view more (2005-12-29)
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)
New technology could lead to camera based on human eye
Digital cameras have transformed the world of photography. Now new technology inspired by the human eye could push the photographic image forward even more by producing improved images with a wider field of view. view more (2008-08-07)

Researchers detect low-energy neutrinos, probe energy production in sun's center
In collaboration with scientists from institutions in the United States and Europe, researchers from Virginia Tech have observed tell-tale signals of neutrinos emitted by thermonuclear fusion reactions that power the sun deep in its interior. view more (2007-08-28)
New MR Technique May Help Save Women from Unnecessary Breast Biopsies
A new MR procedure that uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to determine whether or not a breast lesion is malignant or benign may help reduce unnecessary breast biopsies, according to a study performed at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD. DWI is a method that produces images detecting the exchange of water molecules between... view more... (2009-04-24)
Pioneering research could make UK a world leader
Speculative research being pioneered at Northumbria University could make major medical advances in screening patients in the future. Dr David Smith from the School of Engineering and Technology is developing a microwave imaging system which would replace X-rays. The work, currently under patent, seeks to develop a technique to allow... view more... (2003-11-13)
MRI and PET/CT Improve Chances for Optimal Treatment and Minimal Complications in Cervical Cancer Patients
Pretreatment MRI and PET/CT for cervical cancer may direct more women to optimal therapy choices and spare many women potential long-term morbidity and complications of trimodality therapy (surgery followed by chemoradiation), according to a study performed at the Institute for Technology Assessment in Boston, MA. view more (2009-03-04)
