Study shows PET can measure effectiveness of novel breast cancer treatment
A new study published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine shows that positron emission tomography (PET) scans in mice can be used to determine whether a novel type of breast cancer treatment is working as intended. view more (2009-07-02)
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)
New MR Technique May Help Save Women from Unnecessary Breast Biopsies
A new MR procedure that uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to determine whether or not a breast lesion is malignant or benign may help reduce unnecessary breast biopsies, according to a study performed at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD. DWI is a method that produces images detecting the exchange of water molecules between... view more... (2009-04-24)
Pioneering research could make UK a world leader
Speculative research being pioneered at Northumbria University could make major medical advances in screening patients in the future. Dr David Smith from the School of Engineering and Technology is developing a microwave imaging system which would replace X-rays. The work, currently under patent, seeks to develop a technique to allow... view more... (2003-11-13)
MRI and PET/CT Improve Chances for Optimal Treatment and Minimal Complications in Cervical Cancer Patients
Pretreatment MRI and PET/CT for cervical cancer may direct more women to optimal therapy choices and spare many women potential long-term morbidity and complications of trimodality therapy (surgery followed by chemoradiation), according to a study performed at the Institute for Technology Assessment in Boston, MA. view more (2009-03-04)
Finding out which parts of the brain do what
Ever since the Greeks proposed that different parts of the brain housed different parts of the ‘soul’, mankind has tried to discover where our mental functions are located. This evening, Thursday 22 February, in a public lecture at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG, Professor Alan Cowey FRS of the University... view more... (2001-02-15)
Innovative 3D-imaging technique captures brain damage linked to Alzheimer's disease
Using an advanced three-dimensional mapping technique developed by UCLA researchers, the team analyzed magnetic resonance imaging data from 24 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 25 others with mild Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-12)
PET's Molecular Imaging Power May Be Best Indicator for Determining Which Patients Develop Alzheimer's
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging-with the radiotracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-is a promising tool in detecting Alzheimer's disease in patients who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2005-10-06)
Molecular imaging enables earlier, individualized treatment of thyroid cancer
In a study to determine the diagnostic value of molecular imaging in nodal staging of patients with thyroid cancer, researchers were able for the first time to accurately distinguish between cancerous cells in regional lymph nodes and normal residual thyroid tissue directly after surgery. view more (2009-01-05)
FDG-PET Imaging Clearly Predicts Lung Cancer Patients' Response to Chemotherapy
An earlier indication of whether chemotherapy benefits non-small cell lung cancer patients—provided by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging—can guide doctors in offering them better care, according to researchers in the May Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-05-10)
MU brain imaging center provides research for autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease
Recently, the University of Missouri Department of Psychological Sciences introduced an addition to their field of research with the opening of the Brain Imaging Center (BIC). view more (2008-10-17)
New coil to make magnetic resonance (MR) imaging easier
Oxford University researchers have devised a novel coil design for magnetic resonance (MR) application, devised specifically for deep organ MR where sensitive imaging and spectroscopy have been previously difficult. Deep organ magnetic resonance requires maximised sensitivity and magnetic field homogeneity over a relatively large field of view... view more... (2003-01-24)
Narrow-band imaging increases specificity of early lung cancer detection
Research published in the September 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology has found that narrow-band imaging bronchoscopy increases the specificity of bronchoscopic early lung cancer detection and can serve as an alternative detection device. view more (2009-09-03)
New research suggests that recognising early impairments may make Alzheimer's a treatable disease
Alzheimer's Disease need no longer be a death sentence but will become more treatable, if detected in its early stages. Evidence on brain scans, in conjunction with performance on psychological test showing mild cognitive impairments (MCI) like slight memory loss, pinpoints more people at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. A study at SCP will... view more... (1999-03-16)
New medical ultrasound technology rides wave of the future
A fully digital 4D ultrasound system is set to provide a 'next generation' integrated solution for medical imaging applications, allowing practitioners to provide faster treatment and improve therapeutic success rates. view more (2005-05-12)
Light and sound -- the way forward for better medical imaging
Detection and treatment of tumours, diseased blood vessels and other soft-tissue conditions could be significantly improved, thanks to an innovative imaging system being developed that uses both light and sound. view more (2007-12-13)
New technique sees into tissue at greater depth, resolution
By coupling a kicked-up version of microscopy with miniscule particles of gold, Duke University scientists are now able to peer so deep into living tissue that they can see molecules interacting. view more (2008-09-18)
PPARC Media Invite - Fighting Cancer with Physics

Fibromyalgia can no longer be called the 'invisible' syndrome
Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), researchers in France were able to detect functional abnormalities in certain regions in the brains of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, reinforcing the idea that symptoms of the disorder are related to a dysfunction in those parts of the brain where pain is processed. view more (2008-11-03)
Getting down to details
Dave Wilson was dissatisfied with blurry, low-sensitivity optical images of diseased tissues. So, four years ago he set out to create a better imager. view more (2009-09-29)
