Based on new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, researchers have further enhanced a brain scanning technology that follows what the brain is doing by illuminating dozens of microscopic LED lights on the head. This new age of neuroimaging is a wide improvement from pre...
According to a recent study, the very first MRI scan to show 'brown fat' in a living adult could prove to be a crucial step towards a new assortment of therapies to supplement the fight against diabetes and obesity.
Researchers from Warwick Medical School and University Hospitals Coventry and War...
According to new research published in The Lancet, a functional brain imaging (fMRI) method known as positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising tool for determining which severely brain damaged individuals in vegetative states have the potential to recover full consciousness.
It is the ...
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have discovered that using a noninvasive imaging system may be able to spot coronary atherosclerotic plaques that are at high risk for rupture, potentially allowing for earlier involvement in order to prevent any adverse clinical events.
According to...
A new radioactive diagnostic agent tailored for use with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the brain in adults is presently being assessed for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia has been approved for use in the United States. Dementia is linked with failing brain functions such as ...
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...
In the latest developments, researchers from the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at Jefferson Medical College have produced a three-dimensional (3D) image of a patient’s organs that surgeons can use to plan surgery.
This technology utilizes molecular positron emission tomograph...
Based on recent research, optical imaging technology, which measures metabolic activity in cancer cells, can precisely distinguish breast cancer subtypes and can detect responses to treatment as early as two days following therapy.
The study’s findings were published in the October issue of Ca...
Based on new research published in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, numerous nascent identified markers could offer worthy insight to forecast the risk of rupture abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
Imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has demons...
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...
