New Laser-Based Imaging for Early Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Documents Imaging Technique’s Accuracy in Detecting the Course of Finger Joint Inflammation view more (2002-04-24)
Breakthrough in 3-D Brain Mapping Enables Removal of Fist-Sized Tumor
A new technology involving the fusion of four different types of images into a 3-D map of a patient's brain has helped University of Cincinnati (UC) specialists successfully remove a fist-sized tumor from the brain of an Indiana woman. view more (2009-07-15)
A Neural Mosaic of Tones
The brain filters what we hear. It can do this in part because particular groups of neurons react to specific frequencies of sound. view more (2006-06-23)
MR spectroscopy significantly reduces need for breast biopsy
In a study featured in the June issue of Radiology, researchers found that imaging suspicious breast lesions with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy reduced the need for biopsy by 58 percent. view more (2006-05-30)
Bleeding hearts revealed with new scan
Images that for the first time show bleeding inside the heart after people have suffered a heart attack have been captured by scientists, in a new study published today in the journal Radiology. view more (2009-01-20)
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...

One-of-a-kind imaging probe reveals secrets useful for drug discovery
Good things may indeed come in small packages for scientists eager to find natural substances to help cure diseases. The challenge is to analyze material that is smaller than the proverbial gnat's eyelash. view more (2006-10-03)
Pedophilia patients are found to have deficits in brain activation
Pedophilia, the sexual attraction of adults to children, is a significant public health concern and it does not respond well to treatment. view more (2007-09-21)
Brain difference in psychopaths identified
Professor Declan Murphy and colleagues Dr Michael Craig and Dr Marco Catani from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have found differences in the brain which may provide a biological explanation for psychopathy. view more (2009-08-04)
New imaging technique reveals fatty hearts
A simple imaging technique developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has revealed fat buildup in the hearts of pre-diabetic people long before symptoms of heart disease or diabetes appear. view more (2007-09-05)
Changes in brain density can help predict schizophrenia
Changes in brain density could be used to predict whether an individual who is at risk for schizophrenia is likely to develop the condition or not. view more (2006-12-07)
Early use of nicotine could increase susceptibility for life-long addiction
Nicotine exposure at a young age may alter the "hard-wiring" of the brain that occurs during adolescence and young-adulthood, contributing to future susceptibility for addiction. view more (2006-10-17)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2005-07-27)
Accurate method for interpretation of heart images developed in Finland - Early detection of heart diseases
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed an internationally significant method for interpreting MRI images of the heart. Myocardial diseases are among the most common causes of death in Western countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart is the most accurate imaging method that assesses the function of the cardiac... view more... (2004-09-23)
MU scientists 'see' how HIV matures into an infection
After improving the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), researchers at the University of Missouri actually watched the HIV-1 protease mature from an inactive form into an active infection. This process has never been directly visualized before. The findings appear today in the journal Nature. view more (2008-10-02)
New approach allows closer look at smoker lungs
Aided by a powerful imaging technique, scientists have discovered they can detect smoking-related lung damage in healthy smokers who otherwise display none of the telltale signs of tobacco use. view more (2006-05-31)
External Magnetic Field Causes The Puzzling Heating Of The Solar Corona
The Russian astrophysicists have theoretically modelled coronal loop oscillations and have shown that the plasma present in coronal loops is quite "normal". So, the puzzle of the Sun`s atmosphere heating remains unresolved. Coronal loops, immense magnetic arches more hot and dense than the coronal... view more... (2002-06-21)
NEW MAPPING TECHNIQUE FOR EARLIER DETECTION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (p 201)
An Early Report in this week’s issue of THE LANCET outlines an imaging technique that could identify the early progression of Alzheimer’s disease before the onset of clinical symptoms. The early diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of Alzheimer’s disease is important for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at... view more... (2001-07-18)
Abstinent alcoholics can have reduced brain activation without apparent structural damage
Researchers know that heavy alcohol intake can lead to structural and functional changes in the brain, but have not been able to establish direct links between these changes and specific cognitive functions. view more (2007-08-28)
Liver diagnosis breakthrough with Mayo Clinic MRI development
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new technique for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately measure the hardness or elasticity of the liver. First tests show this technology - called MR Elastography (MRE) - holds great promise for detecting liver fibrosis, a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated... view more...
