MR imaging helps predict recurrence in prostate cancer patients
MR images taken of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment that show that the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland capsule help predict whether the cancer will return.   view more (2007-05-07)

Quasicrystals: Somewhere between order and disorder
In new research that's available online and slated for publication in July's issue of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Damanik and colleague Serguei Tcheremchantsev offer a key proof in the study of quasicrystals, crystal-like materials whose atoms don't line up in neat, unbroken... view more (2007-05-24)

ESRF helps reveal the origin of the Solar System
Particles returned to Earth last January by the Stardust spacecraft from comet Wild 2 are yielding precious information about the origin of the solar system, thanks to the brilliant X-rays produced at several of the world's synchrotron facilities, including the ESRF.   view more (2006-12-18)

By combining different CT views, radiologists can better evaluate the GI tract
Combined evaluation of transverse images-horizontal slices of a standing body-and multiplanar coronal reformats-vertical slices from head to foot-from CT scans give radiologists more information about the GI tract to better diagnose problems.   view more (2006-05-04)
