Advances in breast imaging
A diagnostic device that resembles a mammography unit can detect breast tumors as tiny as one-fifth of an inch in diameter, which may make it a valuable complementary imaging technique to mammography.   view more (2006-12-18)

Catching Some Rays
An international team of researchers has detected low-energy solar neutrinos--subatomic particles produced in the core of the sun--and measured in real-time the rate the particles hit our planet.   view more (2007-08-22)

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)

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)

PET/CT planning beneficial for head and neck cancer patients
Using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning in head and neck carcinoma patients provides for excellent, local and regional disease control when compared to CT alone.   view more (2008-03-05)

Brain imaging reveals breakdown of normal emotional processing
Brain imaging has revealed a breakdown in normal patterns of emotional processing that impairs the ability of people with clinical depression to suppress negative emotional states.   view more (2007-08-17)

Imaging study links key genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease to myelin breakdown
A new UCLA imaging study shows that age-related breakdown of myelin, the fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, correlates strongly with the presence of a key genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease.   view more (2006-01-03)

Research Breakthrough In Understanding Treatment-Resistant Depression
CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE CENTRE: DARTFORD UK A pioneering research study using brain imaging has yielded new clues to help sufferers from severe depression who do not respond to conventional treatment. Around 5 million people in the UK experience depression at any one time. Whilst a number of successful treatments, both pharmacological and... view more... (2003-10-01)

NIST studies how new helium ion microscope measures up
Just as test pilots push planes to explore their limits, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve measurement accuracy at the nanoscale.   view more (2008-09-05)

Europe opens a window onto a violent Universe
ESA PR 66-2002. The European Space Agency has today launched a new observatory set to revolutionise the branch of astrophysics that seeks to unravel the secrets of the highest-energy - and therefore the most violent - phenomena in the Universe. This comes 20 years after the end of ESA`s COS-B mission, which produced a complete map of the sky in... view more... (2002-10-17)

Science with Integral -- 5 years on
With eyes that peer into the most energetic phenomena in the universe, ESA's Integral has been setting records, discovering the unexpected and helping understanding the unknown over its first five years.   view more (2007-10-18)

Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging may help predict who's at risk for a heart attack
The study suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—a highly sensitive technique that provides three-dimensional views of tissue at the molecular level—effectively measured macrophages or white blood cells, in the arterial walls of blood vessels.   view more (2007-01-29)

2,500 researchers, 1 supermachine, 1 new snapshot of the universe
Deep in the bowels of the earth -100 metres below ground in Geneva, Switzerland - lies a supermachine of 27 km circumference called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has been built to unlock the mysteries of the universe.   view more (2008-04-01)

Worldwide clinical trials for new technique for early detection of eye disease
A unique new non-invasive technique for high resolution optical imaging of the eye is receiving global acclaim. The technique, pioneered by the University of Kent, is funded by the Toronto-based company, Ophthalmic Technology Inc (OTI). The University's Applied Optics Group is currently working with university hospitals in New York (USA), Osaka... view more... (2004-10-12)

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)

New Treatment Guidelines For Low Back Pain
A summary of evidence on the diagnosis and treatment of low-back pain has prompted the American Pain Society (ASP) and the American College of Physicians (ACP) to issue a new treatment guideline.   view more (2007-10-03)

Pitt researchers see electron waves in motion for first time
Both the ancient art of stained glass and the cutting-edge field of plasmonics rely on the oscillation of electrons in nanosized metal particles. When light shines on such particles, it excites the electromagnetic fields on the metal's surface, known as "surface plasmons," and causes its electrons to oscillate in waves-producing the rich... view more...

Roses In The Southern Sky
The Wide-Field-Imager at La Silla Unveils Intricate Structures Illuminated by Hot Stars The giant HII nebula N44 The two best known satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, are located in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light-years. They host many giant nebular complexes with very hot and luminous stars whose... view more... (2003-11-03)

In the first second of Creation
At the very beginning of the Universe both forms of matter existed in equal amounts. They should have cancelled themselves out leaving just energy. But, within a second, something happened to ensure that matter prevailed - and that the Universe could develop in the way that it did. BaBar should shed light on that critical event 15 billion years... view more... (1999-06-11)
