Medical Imaging
-
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.
-
Scientists in Israel have demonstrated a promising new technology for early Parkinson's diagnosis, using a variation of MRI to spot tiny, telltale structures forming deep in the brain as the disease progresses.
-
MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool, but the size and cost limits where it can be used. A compact, affordable new MRI system uses a much smaller magnetic field and doesn’t require shielding, and is still able to diagnose brain disorders in patients.
-
Researchers in Australia have tapped into cutting-edge materials science to produce the world's thinnest X-ray detector, which is highly suited to the imaging of wet proteins and living cells, and has the potential to do so on in real time.
-
A groundbreaking new imaging technique, utilizing X-rays 100 billion times brighter than a hospital X-ray machine, is offering 3D images in unprecedented detail, allowing whole organs to be imaged down to a resolution of 1 micron.
