Academics' detective work to speed up crime scene investigation
Kingston University is heading a major investigation that could help police officers solve crime more quickly. Experts from Kingston's Digital Imaging Research Centre have joined forces with Surrey University and independent research organisation Sira for a project called REVEAL (Recovering Evidence from Video by Fusing Video Evidence Thesaurus... view more...

World's most powerful MRI ready to scan human brain
The world's most powerful medical magnetic resonance imaging machine, the 9.4 Tesla at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has successfully completed safety trials and may soon offer physicians a real-time view of biological processes in the human brain. view more (2007-12-05)
Arsenic aids tumor imaging when joined to cancer-homing drug, UT Southwestern researchers find
Arsenic linked to a drug that binds to the blood vessels of cancerous tumors provides a powerful imaging agent that could one day allow physicians to detect hard-to-find tumors and more closely monitor cancer's response to therapy, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-03-03)
Elasticity imaging identifies cancers and reduces breast biopsies
A new ultrasound technique allows radiologists to accurately distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers correctly identified both cancerous and harmless lesions in nearly all of the cases studied. view more (2006-11-28)
New technology sharpens X-ray vision
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the EPFL in Switzerland have developed a novel method for producing dark-field x-ray images at wavelengths used in typical medical and industrial imaging equipment. view more (2008-01-21)
NIST posts online database of cryogenic materials properties
In response to numerous inquiries from academia, industry, and other government labs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a new database on the properties of solid materials at temperatures ranging from cryogenic (as low as 4 K, which is -269 degrees C or -452 degrees F) to room temperature. view more (2007-11-09)
Ultrasound proves safe alternative to biopsy in some breast masses
Researchers have reported that breast masses shown on ultrasound that are diagnosed as "probably benign" can be safely managed with imaging follow-up rather than biopsy, according to a study appearing in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2007-06-26)
Molecular imaging holds promise for early intervention in common uterine cancer
A promising new molecular imaging technique may provide physicians and patients with a noninvasive way to learn more information about a type of cancer of the uterus lining called "endometrial carcinoma"-one of the most common malignant female tumors. view more (2009-10-01)
Scaling new heights with digital imaging
It takes a brave soul to climb ladders and photograph artwork 15 metres above ground. Which is why conservators and restorers of heritage sites may soon come to rely on a unique European digital imaging system perched on a robotic platform. view more (2004-11-05)
Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome. view more (2008-11-20)
How can we know early who will benefit from tumor target therapy?
The precise tailoring of tumor target treatment for patients with cancer is an unmet challenge. The goal is to only administer treatments that have a high probability of being effective. view more (2007-11-26)
Laser technique has implications for detecting microbial life forms in Martian ice
An innovative technique called L.I.F.E. imaging used successfully to detect bacteria in frozen Antarctic lakes could have exciting implications for demonstrating signs of life in the polar regions of Mars. view more (2009-10-02)
Kylie's breast cancer triggered a surge of over 30 percent in breast imaging of low-risk women
Use of mammography and breast ultrasound procedures soared by over 30 percent among women aged 25-44 in the 6 months following Kylie Minogue's breast cancer diagnosis, says a new study from the University of Melbourne. view more (2008-06-05)
Targeted drug delivery now possible with 'pHLIP' peptide
Scientists at Yale and the University of Rhode Island report the development of a peptide that can specifically and directly deliver molecules to the inside of cells like a nanosyringe, creating a new tool for drug delivery, gene control and imaging of diseased tissues. view more (2006-04-12)

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)
Combined imaging approach may provide better identification of difficult-to-diagnose brain clots
University of Cincinnati (UC) neuroradiologists believe a brain imaging approach that combines standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with specialized contrast-enhanced techniques could lead to more effective diagnoses in patients with difficult-to-detect blood clots in veins of the brain. view more (2007-04-09)
Patients with PTSD experience less pain sensitivity — may be related to altered processing
Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder show reduced pain sensitivity, a pattern that may be related to altered pain processing in the brain. view more (2007-01-02)
New imaging analysis predicts brain tumor survival
As early as one week after beginning treatment for brain tumors, a new imaging analysis method was able to predict which patients would live longer, researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2009-04-20)
Jefferson radiation oncologists use real-time system to plant 'seeds' against cancer
Radiation oncologists and urologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia have begun using a real-time system to implant radiation-emitting seeds in prostate cancer patients. view more (2007-09-24)
