Yoga and elevated brain GABA levels
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and McLean Hospital have found that practicing yoga may elevate brain gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) levels, the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. view more (2007-05-22)
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)
Visual Learners Convert Words to Pictures in the Brain And Vice Versa, Says Penn Psychology Study
A University of Pennsylvania psychology study, using functional magnetic resonance imaging technology to scan the brain, reveals that people who consider themselves visual learners, as opposed to verbal learners, have a tendency to convert linguistically presented information into a visual mental representation. view more (2009-03-25)
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)
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)
Russian Researcher Vladislav Ivanov Could Have Received The 2003 Nobel Prize In Medicine
The 2003 Nobel Prize laureates in Medicine and Physiology - Peter Mansfield and Paul Lautenbur - have won their prizes for inventing the magnetic resonance imaging method for precise diagnostics of various diseases. However, few people know that Vladislav Ivanov, lieutenant of the Soviet Army, contrived this method 13 years earlier. The interview... view more... (2003-10-31)
Prototype Breast Cancer Imaging System May Improve Patient Care
A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. view more (2009-06-16)
Dancing atoms now understood
In developing a model to explain the motion of atoms in a magnetic field, scientists have overcome a decades-old obstacle to understanding a key component of magnetic resonance. view more (2008-12-02)
New theory explains enhanced superconductivity in nanowires
Superconducting wires are used in magnetic resonance imaging machines, high-speed magnetic-levitation trains, and in sensitive devices that detect variations in the magnetic field of a brain. view more (2006-10-19)
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)
MIT nanoparticles may help detect, treat tumors
A new technique devised by MIT engineers may one day help physicians detect cancerous tumors during early stages of growth. view more (2006-05-02)
Ceramic research reaches new heights
Materials scientists at the University of Wales Aberystwyth (UWA) are taking ceramics to new heights in order to determine the structure and stability of the materials which are used to construct aeroplane engines and the tiles for the space shuttle. Dr Rudi Winter and colleagues from the Department of Physics at UWA are using a unique... view more... (2002-03-05)
How do the choline compounds change when apoptosis occurs?
Apoptosis is a programmed, active, highly selective mechanism of cell death. Abnormal regulation of apoptosis can lead to disorders such as cancer. The field of apoptosis research has undergone an explosion of new knowledge over the past decade. view more (2008-09-24)
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)
Brown Chemists Create Cancer-Detecting Nanoparticles
A team led by a Brown University chemist has created the smallest iron oxide nanoparticles to date for cancer detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The magnetic nanoparticles operate like tiny guided missiles, seeking and attaching themselves to malignant tumor cells. Once they bind, the particles emit stronger signals that MRI scans can... view more... (2008-05-28)
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)
New technique developed for tracking cells in the body
Scientists' inability to follow the whereabouts of cells injected into the human body has long been a major drawback in developing effective medical therapies. view more (2007-03-21)
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)
The white stuff: Marine lab team seeks to understand coral bleaching
With technology similar to that used by physicians to perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, researchers from six institutions-including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-working at the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) in Charleston, S.C., are studying the metabolic activity of a pathogen shown to cause coral... view more...
