Picture this: FSU professor's research could lead to vastly improved medical imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, has revolutionized health care, providing doctors with a highly accurate, non-invasive tool for diagnosing cancer, injuries and other maladies within the human body. view more (2007-02-14)
Using nano-magnets to enhance medical imaging
Nanoscale magnets in the form of iron-containing molecules might be used to improve the contrast between healthy and diseased tissue in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—as long as the concentration of nanomagnets is carefully managed. view more (2007-02-02)
Magnetic nanoparticles assembled into long chains
Chains of 1 million magnetic nanoparticles have been assembled and disassembled in a solution of suspended particles in a controlled way. view more (2005-10-21)
Through the eye of the needle
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery cannot directly observe their work. Magnetic resonance imaging gives them an internal view of the patient's body, but metal surgical instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics offer a viable alternative. Thanks to advances in medical technology, surgeons can meanwhile perform very... view more... (2004-02-03)
Nobel Laureates published with IoPP
Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP) is proud to note that five of the 2003 Nobel Prize winners have published important works with its journals. Many of these have been key papers, which have contributed to their success today. Sir Peter Mansfield, joint winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, has published a total of 25 papers relating to... view more... (2003-10-07)
Puncture needles off the roll
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery can observe their work through magnetic resonance imaging. But metal instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics - such as a multifunction needle manufactured on a continuous roll - offer a viable alternative. view more (2004-11-09)
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)
New Mayo Clinic MRI technology enables noninvasive liver diagnoses
Two recent Mayo Clinic studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique invented at Mayo Clinic, is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases. view more (2007-05-23)
Medical Imaging with 'Swiss Rolls'
Under Strict Embargo for 19:00 London GMT/14.00 US EST Thursday 1 February A novel magnetic material developed by British researchers may lead to dramatic improvements in the performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. Writing in the journal Science today they describe initial experiments confirming the exotic nature of the material... view more... (2001-02-01)
The Malignancy of Cerebral Tumours could be detected by means of Magnetic Resonance
Magnetic resonance is increasingly being used for the detection of cerebral tumours. Nevertheless, while the technique detects the existence of the tumour it does not enable us to tell whether in the case of malignant tumours the tumour cells are actively proliferating or not. A research team at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has... view more... (1999-06-04)
Increase in the reliability of brain tumour diagnosis
A team of European researchers lead by Carles Ar'°s, professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have developed a system that facilitates the interpretation of magnetic resonance spectra of brain tumours and improves their diagnosis. It is a computer-based tool that... view more... (2004-02-09)
Delicate Relation between Single Spins
Probing the magnetic interaction between single atoms is no longer a dream. Using a scanning tunnelling microscope, the interaction of the spins of two neighbouring cobalt atoms adsorbed at a copper surface has been measured as a function of their distance with atomic precision. view more (2007-03-05)
UCSB physicists move 1 step closer to quantum computing
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in electrically controlling quantum states of electrons, a step that could help in the development of quantum computing. view more (2009-11-20)
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)
Successful neurosurgery with transcranial MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound
The Magnetic Resonance Center of the University Children's Hospital Zurich has achieved a world first break through in MR-guided, non-invasive neurosurgery. view more (2009-06-23)
High-tech spectroscopy may be used to monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may provide a noninvasive way to monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with lupus, according to results from research in mice at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2006-11-13)
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...

NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities
Researchers at New York University have made chemical modifications to nanometer sized virus particles—a process that has the potential to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Their results are reported in the latest issue of Nano Letters. view more (2006-06-14)
Bon MOT: Innovative atom trap catches highly magnetic atoms
A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland has succeeded in cooling atoms of a rare-earth element, erbium, to within two millionths of a degree of absolute zero using a novel trapping and laser cooling technique. view more (2008-04-03)
MRI drug may improve cancer-killing ability of chemotherapy, study says
A contrast agent currently used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), called mangafodipir, may increase the cancer-killing ability of some chemotherapy drugs while protecting normal cells. view more (2006-02-15)
