USA, November 17, 2013 - Scientists working on the MARIUS (magnetic resonance imaging using ultrasound--systems and processor multimodal MR imaging) Project, an undertaking of the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering IBMT in St. Ingbert and the Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Compu...

Regular screening can raise women’s chances of breast cancer survival by detecting the disease early and being able to treat it at such a pivotal stage. A team of Dutch researchers developed a prototype of a new imaging tool that may soon be able to identify breast cancer in its early stages, wh...

Extracting tissue samples can often be a traumatic experience for breast cancer patients. There are also large costs linked with the procedure when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used. Knowing whether a breast tumor is malignant or not cannot be solely answered by the use of ultrasound and X...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging method that is widely used in medical practice to produce images of internal organs such as the heart, the lungs, the liver and even the brain. Since its introduction in 1977, the MRI has become a poster of clinical radiology, employed across the worl...

Investigators and reaserchers have developed a never before seen nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that provides around 10-nm spatial resolutions.  This demonstrates an important advancement in MRI sensitivity; current MRI modalities regularly emplyed in medical imaging generate spat...

Scientists at Rice University have managed to confine bismuth in a nanotube cage to tag and track stem cells for X-ray. Bismuth is most probably known as an active element in a popular stomach-settling elixir and is also applied in cosmetics and medical applications. Rice chemist Lon Wilson and his...

According to results of Delayed Enhancement (MRI determinant of successful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (DECAAF) trial),  for patients with atrial fibrillation, a delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) performed prior to ablative treatment can stage the extent of dama...

A new report stipulates that a patient benefits from positron emission tomography (PET) in esophageal cancer, either on its own or in conjunction with computed tomography (CT), have yet to be proven true. Researchers from the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG; Köl...

Researchers from the University Hospitals Case Medical Center have published findings that showcase a new form of imaging PET/MRI that looks to be promising for several types of cancer. In an article titled "PET/MRI: Applications in Clinical Imaging," published in the September issue of Current R...

Based on a study published in Arthritis Care and Research (AC&R), radiologic imaging of explosion injuries served a crucial role in an immediate emergency response to the Boston Marathon bombing. The discoveries highlighted pin-point timing and utilization of imaging systems and methods. "In an era...
