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.
-
The world's first portable MRI machine proved its potential in early trials last year, and a new Yale-led study has built on this success by using it to detect cases of stroke in need of surgical intervention, with a high degree of accuracy.
-
Accumulation of fat around the heart has long been linked to cardiovascular and metabolic disease but until now there hasn’t been a simple way to measure this. A new AI tool has been developed that can quantify these fat deposits from regular MRI images.
-
A new type of imaging tech has detected lung damage not visible on MRI or CT scans in patients suffering from the long-term effects of COVID-19. The technology will help clinicians understand the breathing impairments seen in long COVID.
-
A technique is allowing researchers to measure endogenous lithium concentrations in the human brain for the very first time. Researchers found natural lithium levels in white matter were lower in suicidal subjects than healthy controls.
-
An imaging technique has been developed offering detailed 3D videos of a human brain. The technique offers novel perspectives on the motions of a brain, delivering clinicians a new diagnostic tool and researchers insights into neurological disorders.
-
A study has found four distinct patterns of toxic protein spread in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings indicate the patterns correspond with specific symptoms and it's hypothesized the variants could respond to different treatments.
-
An advanced microscopy technique has snapped “super-resolution” 3D images inside the brains of living mice. The method is so precise it imaged the tiny twigs on the branches of neurons, and could watch how they changed over the course of a few days.
-
Panasonic has developed a new Medical Imaging Projection System that not only tracks changes in the shape and positions of organs in near real-time, but projects the images directly onto the patient as a guide for surgeons during complex operations.
-
A UK team has demonstrated a novel technology for imaging the brains of infants and babies. The breakthrough is hoped to allow researchers new ways to investigate baby brain activity in natural environments without the need for expensive MRI machines.
-
A new X-ray scanner adds color and a third dimension, creating high resolution, cutaway 3D models that can diagnose bone fractures and monitor healing. A feasibility study of the machine has now been conducted, with a larger trial set to begin soon.
-
A team of researchers has made a surprising new discovery, finding a pair of previously unknown salivary glands. Nestled deep in the back of the nasopharynx, the discovery may help prevent damaging side effects from head and neck cancer radiotherapy.
