Who's the liar? Brain MRI stands up to polygraph test
Traditional polygraph tests to determine whether someone is lying may take a back seat to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), according to a study appearing in the February issue of Radiology. view more (2006-01-31)
Diabetic hearts make unhealthy switch to high-fat diet
The high-fat "diet" that diabetic heart muscle consumes helps make cardiovascular disease the most common killer of diabetic patients, according to a study done at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-02-06)
Smoking seems to increase brain damage in alcoholics
It is already well-known that the brains of long-term alcoholics atrophy and shrink, the study authors say, but the new findings are the first evidence that cigarette smoking might contribute to that atrophy, particularly in grey matter of the parietal and temporal lobes. view more (2005-09-29)
New imaging method shows early in treatment if brain cancer therapy is effective
A special type of MRI scan that measures the movement of water molecules through the brain can help doctors determine halfway through treatment whether it will successfully shrink the tumor or a patient's cancer will continue to grow. view more (2005-11-01)
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 reveals diseases outside the colon, as well
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography, known as virtual colonoscopy, can be used to diagnose significant medical problems in organs outside the colon, according to a new study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). view more (2005-07-27)
Tiny self-assembling cubes could carry medicine, cell therapy
Johns Hopkins researchers have devised a self-assembling cube-shaped perforated container, no larger than a dust speck, that could serve as a delivery system for medications and cell therapy. view more (2005-12-13)

Ultrasound provides a safe and accurate method of detecting breast cancers in pregnant women, as well as assessing response to chemotherapy. view more (2006-03-28)
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)
Some benign breast lesions could be dangerous
Certain breast lesions diagnosed as benign on core needle biopsy have cancer at surgical excision and thus should be removed, according to a study appearing in the March issue of Radiology. view more (2006-02-28)
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)
Obesity an increasing obstacle to medical diagnosis
The increase of obesity in the United States doubled the number of inconclusive diagnostic imaging exams over a 15-year period, according to a study featured in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2006-07-25)
Radiation after surgery doubles survival time for some lung cancer patients
Patients with lung cancer that has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes - located between the chest, breastbone and spine - who receive radiation after surgery and chemotherapy live twice as long as patients who do not receive radiation after surgery. view more (2006-11-07)
New approach allows closer look at smoker lungs
Aided by a powerful imaging technique, scientists have discovered they can detect smoking-related lung damage in healthy smokers who otherwise display none of the telltale signs of tobacco use. view more (2006-05-31)
