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)
Picturing the future of skin cancer diagnosis
Detecting skin cancer early saves lives, but is a job for specialists. A new European system based on confocal imaging promises to improve detection and diagnosis rates by 20 per cent and to speed up the whole process considerably. view more (2005-03-04)
New technology could revolutionize breast cancer screening
The world's first radar breast imaging system developed at Bristol University that could revolutionise the way women are scanned for breast cancer, is being trialled at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT). view more (2008-11-12)
MDCT angiography for cardiac imaging: Reliable tool, less invasive, fewer complications
A new procedure for the imaging of coronary veins proves to be "less invasive, have less complications, and improves the quality of diagnosis and treatment " for individuals undergoing surgical procedures on the heart and particularly the coronary veins, a recent study found. view more (2005-12-30)
Burning oil cloud above northern Iraq
A burning oil pipeline in northern Iraq produced an immense cloud of black smoke that stretched across thousands of square kilometres, in this image acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. The smoke cloud is visible in the centre of this image of the alluvial plain occupied by the valley of the river Tigris (flowing from... view more... (2003-09-12)
MIT researchers offer glimpse of rare mutant cells
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation. view more (2008-07-22)
Hybrid Scanner Brings Molecular Functioning to the Forefront
A major barrier to developing a hybrid positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system could be removed by using a novel approach for reconstructing data. view more (2009-06-16)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...

Human Brain Connectivity Mapping
The unique connectivity pattern of a brain region determines the type of information available to it, and hence influences its function. Defining these patterns enhances our knowledge of human brain architecture and function. Non-invasive in vivo definition of brain connectivity patterns complements functional imaging and provides new... view more... (2004-09-23)
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)
NIST gears up to verify short range 3-D imaging
Three-dimensional imaging devices are becoming important measuring tools in the manufacturing, construction and transportation sectors. view more (2006-05-01)
Medical imaging may help researchers understand the pathogenesis of H1N1 virus
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that imaging can now be used as a tool for identifying severe cases of H1N1 and may play a key role in understanding the pathogenesis of the virus, possibly leading to earlier diagnoses of severe cases in the future. view more (2009-10-14)
ESA takes a new look at the Moon
Thirty years after Apollo 16`s lunar module, Orion, landed at the western edge of the Descartes Mountains on 21 April 1972, there is still much that we don`t know about the Moon. For instance, how was it created? And what role did it play in the formation and evolution of Earth? We may be closer to answering those, and many other questions,... view more... (2002-04-23)
Brain surgery, new light-emitting materials and medical imaging - all are covered in the December issue of Opto and Laser Europe
LASERS ON THE BRAIN A new, minimally-invasive tool that can completely remove a brain tumour through a small hole in the skull has been delivered to surgeons in Germany. Conventional techniques use lasers to destroy brain tumours by thermal effects. This can destroy healthy tissue, and increases the risk of toxic side effects because it does not... view more...

Do imaging findings imply malignant potential at multi-detector row computed tomography?
To date, more than 700 cases of SPTs have been reported in English literature. About 15% are known to present metastasis or recurrence. However, based on the conventional histopathology, it has been difficult to establish the criteria which could be suggestive of the aggressive behavior including recurrence and metastasis. view more (2009-02-23)
A potential new imaging agent for early diagnosis of most serious skin cancer
Scientists in Australia are reporting development and testing in laboratory animals of a potential new material for diagnosing malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. view more (2009-10-01)
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)
Cells, dyes and videotape: Online scientific methods journal incorporates multimedia
Observing the microscopic mysteries of embryos, cells, and chromosomes is feasible with advanced live imaging technologies. view more (2006-11-06)
18F-DG PET/CT can highly increase the detection of colorectal cancer
Combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is currently widely used in the clinical diagnosis of cancer to provide functional and morphological imaging. view more (2007-10-11)
Concurrent imaging of metabolic and electric signals in the heart
Cardiac rhythm disorders can result from disturbances in cardiac metabolism. These metabolic changes are tightly linked with specific cardiac electrophysiology (CEP) abnormalities, such as depressed excitability, impaired intra- and extracellular conductivities, wave propagation block, and alteration of conduction velocity, action potential... view more...
