Enhanced MR-guided focused ultrasound guidelines demonstrate improved efficacy and durability
Data released today show that MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a more effective option for a broader population of uterine fibroid sufferers. view more (2007-05-09)
MRI before surgery leads to better-adapted treatment for breast cancer
The early use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women diagnosed with breast cancer can often lead to a better adapted surgical approach to the tumour. view more (2008-04-16)
Baylor researchers develop 'bubble' technique for potential treatment of Type I diabetes
Researchers at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and the Baylor Research Institute have developed a novel technique to deliver insulin genes to the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin. view more (2006-05-22)
Watching tumors melt away
All standard methods of removing tumors have side effects. Surgical excision under anesthetic leaves a wound - usually extending into adjacent healthy tissue. It also raises the risk of cancerous cells spreading via blood and lymph vessels. The X- or gamma-rays used in radiation therapy have to pass through healthy tissue to reach deeper-lying... view more... (2003-12-01)
Chronic ankle pain may be more than just a sprain
Ankle sprains are a common injury after a fall, sudden twist or blow to the ankle joint. Approximately 40 percent of those who suffer an ankle sprain will experience chronic ankle pain, even after being treated for their initial injury. view more (2009-05-01)
Promising new metamaterial could transform ultrasound imaging
Using the same principles that help create a guitar's complex tones, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new material that holds promise for revolutionizing the field of ultrasound imaging. view more (2006-06-01)
Low risk for heart attack? Could an ultrasound hold the answer?
By adding the results of an imaging technique to the traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease, doctors at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found they were able to improve prediction of heart attacks in people previously considered low risk. view more (2008-11-12)
Combination HDL/LDL therapy has no effect on plaque build-up
For some patients with high cholesterol, even the most aggressive treatment with statin drugs fails to prevent coronary artery disease. Patients with hyperlipidemia - high LDL or "bad" cholesterol and trigylcerides, and low HDL or "good" cholesterol - and those with a family history of high cholesterol are at a high risk for... view more...

UK researchers develop way of predicting a woman's 'reproductive' age
UK researchers have shown a strong direct relationship between ovarian volume and the number of primordial follicles (eggs) remaining in the ovaries of women of reproductive age. The measurement of ovarian volume by transvaginal ultrasound will enable an accurate prediction of the age of menopause and hence a woman's reproductive age. They say... view more... (2004-06-15)
New placenta screening for high-risk pregnancies
For the first time ever, a team of Toronto researchers are using a combination of ultrasound and blood tests to screen high-risk pregnant mothers for placental damage. view more (2007-04-02)
Ultrasounds show mothers' drinking shrinks fetal brain
Routine ultrasounds show that heavy drinkers who continue to imbibe after learning they are pregnant may carry fetuses with reduced skull and brain growth compared to those of abstainers or quitters, says a new study. view more (2006-04-28)
Noninvasive screening in early pregnancy reduces Down's births by 50 percent
Non-invasive screening of pregnant women with ultrasound early in pregnancy, combined with maternal blood analysis, has reduced the number of children born in Denmark with Down Syndrome by 50%. view more (2007-06-18)
Breakthrough Promised In Detecting Atherosclerosis
A study led by a team of researchers at Oregon Health & Science University has demonstrated for the first time that molecular imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and targeted microbubbles is effective in detecting at a very early stage inflammatory processes that lead to atherosclerosis. view more (2007-08-21)
New tool being tested at Penn to halt recurrence of atrial fibrillation
Clinical researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Health System are starting a trial utilizing a new mechanism to treat the heart when its electrical pulses essentially short-circuit, referred to as atrial fibrillation (A-Fib). view more (2006-12-14)
Breast MRI may help determine surgical management of women with newly diagnosed breast cancer
Among women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast appears helpful in determining surgical treatment. view more (2007-05-22)
Less invasive methods may provide accurate means to determine lung cancer stage
An evaluation of several endoscopic biopsy methods suggests that a "minimally invasive" approach may accurately determine the stage of suspected lung cancer, according to a study in the February 6 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-02-06)
Scientists develop new techniques for detecting harmful blood clots/air bubbles in arteries
New techniques for detecting emboli (harmful blood clots/air bubbles in arteries) developed at the University of Leicester have played a major role in dramatically reducing stroke rates after carotid endarterectomy. This is an operation designed to remove narrowings in the main arteries supplying the brain before they can cause a stroke. view more (2008-02-20)
Mechanoluminescence event yields novel emissions, reactions
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a new study of mechanoluminescence revealed extensive atomic and molecular spectral emission not previously seen in a mechanoluminescence event. view more (2007-05-09)
Study shows prenatal diagnostic tests have low risk of miscarriage
Pregnant women who seek prenatal diagnostic testing to identify genetic or chromosomal abnormalities have a lower risk of miscarriage than previously believed, according to a UCSF study. view more (2006-09-01)
In-vitro fertilization improved with 3-D/4-D-guided embryo transfer and new placement target
Beverly Hills, Calif. and Washington DC (ASRM Annual Meeting) - October 15, 2007 - The pregnancy rate for patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is improved when doctors use advanced 3D/4D imaging to guide the placement of embryos to the point where the endometrium is most receptive to implantation. view more (2007-10-17)
