A study is reporting promising results testing the world’s first portable MRI machine in a real-world intensive care setting. The device detected brain abnormalities in almost all patients studied, paving the way for new bedside diagnostic capabilities.
-
An Australian/German team has developed the world's smallest imaging device, at the thickness of a human hair. It's capable of traveling down the blood vessels of mice, offering unprecedented abilities to 3D-scan the body at microscopic resolutions.
-
Two new imaging breakthroughs demonstrate a PET/MRI approach to locate specific locations of chronic pain in a patient, and a full-body scanner that can visualize the complete systemic burden of inflammatory arthritis for the very first time.
-
New imaging research is offering insights into the relationship between Alzheimer’s and abnormal accumulations of iron in the brain. The study confirms a correlation between high iron deposits in some brain regions and rates of cognitive decline.
-
A new brain imaging study, examining cognitively healthy middle-aged subjects, is suggesting lower levels of estrogen in women post-menopause could play a role in triggering brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
-
An emerging method is adapting x-ray to image soft tissue, so that its higher resolution can reveal tumors earlier than MRI or ultrasound. And now, researchers have taken the first image using the new x-ray method, as a proof of concept.
-
Two new diagnostic techniques hope to help catch the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer. One study measures gene expression in tumors to predict disease severity, while another details a new imaging technique to detect metastatic disease.
-
A new imaging study has found neuroinflammation may be more common in neurodegenerative diseases than previously suspected. The Cambridge research revealed brain inflammation to be a common thread across three different types of dementia.
-
Researchers are reporting the development of a new imaging method to detect metastatic cancer in the liver. The MRI method could be applied to a number of other cancers, offering an entirely novel way to detect metastatic disease at its early stages.
-
Terahertz radiation is extremely useful but, traditionally, tricky and expensive to generate. Scientists at TU Wien have come up with a new source of terahertz radiation that they claim breaks records for efficiency and the breadth of its spectrum.
-
Utilizing a recently developed brain imaging technique new research suggests measuring accumulated levels of a protein called tau may predict future neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
-
A new AI system is proving more effective at detecting breast cancer in mammograms than trained radiologists. The software, developed by researchers from Google, is not designed to replace humans but instead improve current diagnostic processes.
