Brain imaging reveals breakdown of normal emotional processing
Brain imaging has revealed a breakdown in normal patterns of emotional processing that impairs the ability of people with clinical depression to suppress negative emotional states. view more (2007-08-17)
Researchers make case for standardized analysis of cardiac imaging
For accuracy's sake, medical professionals should use the same software for comparing and analyzing diagnostic heart images taken from different time periods and laboratories, a team of researchers has concluded. view more (2008-03-13)
Mouse study: Real-time imaging device may improve surgery for congenital colon disease
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are developing a spectral imaging system that could result in shorter operating times for infants undergoing surgery for Hirschsprung's disease, according to a mouse study reported in the Journal of Biophotonics. view more (2008-02-29)
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)
The physics of muck spreading
Physicists have to tread carefully when it comes to fertiliser, but the first tentative steps to a better understanding of the ancient art of fertilising the soil are described in a paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication, The Journal of Measurement Science and Technology. Frederic Cointault, Philippe Sarrazin and Michel... view more... (2002-06-18)
Using magnets to coax secrets out of fossils
Scientists continue to coax more secrets out of thunderstones and other fossils. But in order to look inside, they often have to slice their precious specimens. Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-destructive means of obtaining startling high-resolution images. "By Thor, what`s that?!" Our ancestors must have taken fright when they came across one... view more... (2002-03-06)
£4M awarded for research in Integrated Electronics
The University of Surrey's Integrated Electronics research programme is one of only eight research teams in the UK to receive one of the new Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Portfolio Partnership Awards being announced at the EPSRC's annual conference in London on Wednesday 3 April 2003. The University of Surrey (UniS)... view more... (2003-03-25)
Saturn's faint rings share some of their secrets
NASA Cassini spacecraft images of Saturn's diaphanous G and E rings are yielding new clues about their structure and formation. view more (2006-07-06)
NYU, Tel Aviv University create non-invasive imaging method for diagnosing osteoarthritis
Researchers at New York University and Tel Aviv University have developed a non-invasive imaging method that can be used to diagnose and monitor a number of diseases, including osteoarthritis and inter-vertebral disc degeneration, in their early stages. view more (2008-02-12)
Calcium scans may be effective screening tool for heart disease
A simple, non-invasive test appears to be an effective screening tool for identifying patients with silent heart disease who are at risk for a heart attack or sudden death. view more (2009-09-30)
Increased screening may better predict those at higher risk for heart disease, researchers report
Adding noninvasive imaging to current risk-assessment protocols may identify more people who are at risk of developing heart disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-05-27)
Nanoparticles can track cells deep within living organisms
To the delight of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, living cells gobbled up fluorine-laced nanoparticles without needing any coaxing. Then, because of the unusual meal, the cells were easily located with MRI scanning after being injected into mice. view more (2007-03-27)
New thoracic imaging approach can pinpoint underlying venous problems
University of Cincinnati (UC) radiologists have developed a new technique for capturing images of chest veins that eases diagnosis of venous diseases. view more (2007-10-09)
A picture of progress: PET imaging and biomarkers explored at ACS meeting
Doctors often have wished they could dispense with diagnostic guesswork and simply peer inside a human body to see the effects of a disease or if a particular medicine really works. view more (2005-09-01)
Heavy marijuana use may damage developing brain in teens, young adults
Adolescents and young adults who are heavy users of marijuana are more likely than non-users to have disrupted brain development, according to a new study. view more (2009-02-03)
NIST imaging system maps nanomechanical properties
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed an imaging system that quickly maps the mechanical properties of materials-how stiff or stretchy they are, for example-at scales on the order of billionths of a meter. view more (2007-12-13)
New way of tracking muscle damage from radiation
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could become a valuable tool for predicting the risk of muscle injury during and following radiation therapy. view more (2006-11-07)
3-D ultrasound scanner provides in-depth view of the brain
Biomedical engineers at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering have adapted a three-dimensional ultrasound scanner that might guide minimally invasive brain surgeries and provide better detection of a brain tumor's location. view more (2007-06-21)
Ultrasound imaging now possible with a smartphone
Computer engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are bringing the minimalist approach to medical care and computing by coupling USB-based ultrasound probe technology with a smartphone, enabling a compact, mobile computational platform and a medical imaging device that fits in the palm of a hand. view more (2009-04-22)
Reduced brain volume may predict dementia in healthy elderly people
Reduced volume, or atrophy, in parts of the brain known as the amygdala and hippocampus may predict which cognitively healthy elderly people will develop dementia over a six-year period. view more (2006-01-03)
