Medical Imaging

If a medical professional has ever had a hard time getting a needle into your veins, you'll welcome this new gizmo from Adison Technology. By effectively turning your skin transparent, it makes needle sticks more accurate and therefore less painful.

Updating an ancient form of health diagnosis with modern machine learning, researchers have developed a remarkable system that can reveal a range of medical conditions including asthma and diabetes just by looking at your tongue. It aced its tests.

A new kind of 3D display could take the form of an acrylic cube with an image inside, which can be erased and rewritten to easily. The new technique can be used to make 2D, 3D and even animated images.

The world’s most powerful MRI machine has scanned its first living human brains. The resulting images give an ultra high resolution glimpse into the brain, to help us better understand the nature of consciousness and treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers have combined high-resolution images of blood vessels under the skin of diabetics and an AI algorithm to formulate a ‘score’ that can determine disease severity. The technique could be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

MIT researchers have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image the bladder as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. The device could also be adapted to image other internal organs.

Using a method of total-body imaging, researchers have measured and tracked the body’s immune response to viral infection. It's a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater detail and may assist the study of other infectious diseases.

Researchers have found that showing patients images of plaque buildup in their arteries not only educates them but motivates them to address the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, reducing bad cholesterol and blood pressure.

Using AI, researchers have created the first map of a protein group known as the Commander complex, which functions as a "postal worker" in the body. The new understanding opens the door to new drugs and modalities for fighting a range of conditions.

This stunning image may look like a particularly lively Jackson Pollock painting, but it’s actually an example of a new cell imaging technique. The subject? A human retina.

Scientists at Duke University have developed an ultrafast photoacoustic imaging system capable of capturing the functional and molecular changes that occur in major brain disorders such as stroke, dementia, and acute brain injury.

A clinical trial has shown a new type of medical scan can identify specific adrenal gland nodules responsible for high blood pressure. The scan offers the first simple diagnostic tool for what is the cause of hypertension in up to 10% of people.
