Radiologists identify early brain marker of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have found a new marker which may aid in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the October issue of Radiology. view more (2007-09-25)
Doubling of deaths from liver cancer in 30 years
Deaths from liver cancer have almost doubled in the past 30 years, shows research in Gut. A relatively rare type of liver cancer arising from the bile ducts - intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma - accounts for virtually all of the increase. The research team analysed deaths coded by liver tumour between 1968 and 1998, using national statistics for... view more... (2001-05-16)
Memory loss affects more of the brain than previously thought
Memory loss associated with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be linked to altered activity in several areas of the brain, according to a study in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
Intravenous chemoradiation effective for inoperable head, neck cancer; easier for patients, doctors
Chemoradiation (radiation and chemotherapy given at the same time) given through a needle or tube inserted into a vein (intravenous) is as effective as treatment given directly to the tumor through a tube inserted into an artery (intra-arterial) for patients with inoperable head and neck cancer. view more (2006-11-07)
Combined treatment extends life expectancy for lung cancer patients
Combining thermal ablation with radiation therapy extends average life expectancy and decreases recurrences of tumors in patients who have early stages of inoperable lung cancer, according to researchers at Rhode Island Hospital. view more (2006-07-17)
New MRI technique could mean fewer breast biopsies in high-risk women
A University of Wisconsin-Madison biomedical engineer and colleagues have developed a method that, applied in MRI scans of the breast, could spare some women with increased breast cancer risk the pain and stress of having to endure a biopsy of a questionable lump or lesion. view more (2009-06-30)
Penn researchers study the use of ultrasound for treatment of cancer
For the first time, ultrasound is being used in animal models - to treat cancer by disrupting tumor blood vessels. view more (2005-11-07)
Virtual Colonoscopy Effective in Preventing Colorectal Cancer
Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is an accurate screening method for colorectal cancer. view more (2006-10-18)
Two-slice-touch rule reliable when diagnosing meniscal tears
The two-slice-touch rule increased the accuracy of diagnosing meniscal tears, according to a study conducted by the Department of Radiology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School and Hospital, in Madison, WI. view more (2006-12-07)
Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy). view more (2006-11-07)
MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients. view more (2005-08-08)
Breakthroughs in nanotechnology on edge of 'knowledge frontier'
University of Missouri scientist Kattesh Katti recently discovered how to make gold nanoparticles using gold salts, soybeans and water. Katti's research has garnered attention worldwide and the environmentally-friendly discovery could have major applications in several disciplines. view more (2008-02-29)
Annual prostate cancer screening test appears to save lives
Men who have a yearly blood test to examine their prostate specific antigen levels are nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who don't have annual screenings. view more (2005-10-20)
Low-carbohydrate diet burns more excess liver fat than low-calorie diet, study finds
People on low-carbohydrate diets are more dependent on the oxidation of fat in the liver for energy than those on a low-calorie diet, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in a small clinical study. view more (2009-01-21)
Smokers have worse side effects from radiation treatment for prostate cancer
Smoking has been found to contribute to poorer outcomes for people treated for many kinds of cancer and now, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have associated smoking and acute side-effects following radiation therapy for prostate cancer. view more (2006-11-06)

MIT model helps researchers 'see' brain development
Large mammals—humans, monkeys, and even cats—have brains with a somewhat mysterious feature: The outermost layer has a folded surface. Understanding the functional significance of these folds is one of the big open questions in neuroscience. view more (2007-04-10)
Angled gantry technique reduced breast radiation exposure by 50 percent
A novel angled gantry approach to coronary CT angiography reduced radiation exposure to the breast by more than 50%, according to Thomas Jefferson University researchers. view more (2008-12-04)
