Radiologists overestimate their overall risk of malpractice lawsuits in breast imaging
Radiologists who work in breast imaging tend to overestimate their actual risk of medical malpractice lawsuits, according to a study performed at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle, WA. view more (2009-02-03)
Nanocrystals Reveal Activity Within Cells
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have created bright, stable and bio-friendly nanocrystals that act as individual investigators of activity within a cell. view more (2009-06-17)
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)
NEW TECHNIQUE SHOWS DEATH OF HEART CELLS IN HEART-ATTACK PATIENTS (P 209)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, researchers from the Netherlands describe a new imaging technique capable of pinpointing areas of cell death in the hearts of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). In acute myocardial infarction, the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off. When blood flow is restored, heart... view more... (2000-07-12)
'Smart' nanoprobes light up disease
Researchers from Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) have developed a "smart" beacon hundreds of times smaller than a human cell that is programmed to light up only when activated by specific proteases. view more (2005-08-02)
Study finds rise in rate of diagnostic imaging in managed care
Use of radiology imaging tests has soared in the past decade with a significant increase in newer technologies, according to a new study that is the first to track imaging patterns in a managed care setting over a substantial time period. view more (2008-11-10)
Decision-making by residents on-call has 'miniscule' negative impact on patient care
The study consisted of the review of approximately 12,000 emergency diagnostic imaging exams that were interpreted after hours by residents. view more (2007-09-24)
Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease. view more (2005-08-19)
Mammography plus sonography can help rule out breast cancer in patients with palpable lesions
When mammography and sonography are used together to evaluate palpable breast lesions, they can rule out cancers in most patients, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Baystate Health in Springfield, MA. However, uncommonly, malignancies cannot be diagnosed using this imaging protocol. view more (2008-04-14)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Allows Radiologists to See Areas of the Brain Rarely Seen Using Other Imaging Modalities
Radiologists are now able to look at parts of the brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that are rarely visible with any other imaging method, according to a study performed at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA.

Academy Medal for MRI Pioneer
Professor Ian Young, OBE, FREng, FRS, one of the pioneers of the diagnostic engineering technology Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has won this year's prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Sir Frank Whittle Medal. This year awarded for 'engineering innovations in medicine', and presented to Professor Young to recognise his contributions to the... view more... (2004-06-10)
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)
Fusing physics with medicine to fight cancer
Everyone's lives are touched by cancer - it is a disease that affects 1 in 3 of us throughout our lifetime. Future developments that lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective therapy lie in further successful collaboration between high energy physicists and the healthcare industry. view more (2005-04-28)
New developments in biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer
With the genomic revolution radical improvement has been made in methods of detection of ovarian cancer. view more (2007-11-30)
Seismic research without artificial source
Researchers at TU Delft have made progress in the theoretical foundation of a special subsoil imaging technique. This technique could be used to chart underground mineral resources, it is called "acoustic daylight imaging". The method uses natural acoustic signals, already present in the earth, to create an image of the subsurface... view more... (2004-12-21)
Scientists find that individuals in vegetative states can learn
Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness. view more (2009-09-21)
Neuroimaging provides insights into new treatment options for Alzheimer's disease
With about 35 million people around the world suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) by the year 2010 and an expectation that these numbers will double every twenty years with approximately 115 million cases by 2050, pressure on healthcare systems worldwide will be intense. view more (2009-11-11)
SMART-1 uses new imaging technique in lunar orbit
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit. view more (2005-12-27)
New screening technologies improve detection of polyps during colonoscopy
Two studies presented at the American College of Gastroenterology's 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando highlight new technologies with the potential to improve the detection of colorectal polyps and flat lesions during colonoscopy. view more (2008-10-06)
Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza. view more (2007-01-02)
