Scientists at The University of Nottingham have recently constructed detailed structural and functional 'maps' of the human kidney made using advanced scanning technology. The research, funded with £107,623 from the Dr Hadwen Trust, a non-animal biomedical research charity, aims to further expand ...

A new imaging technique used for measuring blood flow in the heart and vessels can diagnose a common congenital heart abnormality, bicuspid aortic valve, and could very well lead to better prediction of any future complications. A Northwestern Medicine team reported their discoveries in the journ...

A powerful combination of MRI-ultrasound imaging system can lead to fewer biopsies and overall improved treatment decisions for prostate cancer patients. The technology, called UroNav®, merges images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ultrasound to construct a detailed, three-dimensional v...

According to a study recently published in The Lancet Oncology, researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine in California tested a new whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. The imaging method uses ferumoxytol, an iron supplement, to significantly i...

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have creating the technology for a catheter-based device that would provide insightful, real-time, three-dimensional (3D) imaging from inside the heart, coronary arteries, and peripheral blood vessels. With its all encompassing imaging, the novel ...

ViewRay System Expands Treatment Options for Cancer Patients CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 5, 2014—The ViewRay™ system, the world’s first and only MRI--‐ guided radiation therapy system, is being used to treat patients at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes--‐Jewish Hospital and Washington Univer...

Based on a new study conducted by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, a new MRI technique to map and track creatine at higher resolutions in the heart may enable clinicians and scientists to discover abnormalities and disorders earlier than standard ...

Based on a recent study, a UT Arlington chemist doing National Science Foundation-funded research on enzymes that standardize human biology has discovered certain traits and qualities that could be used to distinguish predisposition to conditions such as heart disease, diabetic ulcers and some typ...

Based on a recent study, researchers have managed to find a way of attuning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning so that they may effectively assist in diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) earlier in order to track its progression. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Acade...

A novel, wide-bore incorporated computed tomography (CT) gantry utilizing an original noncontact power transfer system, conjoined with new iterative reconstruction software called LISA (Low dose Imaging Software by Analogic), can produce high-quality images at up to 40% lower radiation dosage. An...
