Researchers have used a method of total-body imaging to measure and track the body’s immune response to viral infection. The method is a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater detail and could be used to evaluate cancer treatments an… Continue reading Total-body imaging captures immune system’s response to viral infection
Researchers have found that showing patients images of the plaque buildup in their arteries not only educates them but also provides motivation to address the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & We… Continue reading Showing patients their plaque pics pushes them to address heart risks
Using AI, researchers have created the first map of a group of proteins known as the Commander complex, which function as the body’s “postal workers.” The new understanding opens the door to new drugs and modalities for fighting everything from Alzheimer’s to infectious diseases to cancer.

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.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Retina, Eye, Imaging, Medical Im… Continue reading Stunning cell atlas captures human retina in colorful detail
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.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Medical Imaging, Photoa… Continue reading Ultrafast photoacoustic imaging provides new insights into brain function
A clinical trial has shown a new type of medical scan can identify specific adrenal gland nodules responsible for excess hormone secretion linked to high blood pressure. The new scan offers the first simple diagnostic tool for what is thought to be the… Continue reading New CT scan helps detect curable form of high blood pressure
It is thought that Parkinson’s disease takes hold in the brain long before obvious motor symptoms appear, and a big focus for researchers is the development of diagnostic tools that can detect it early on. Scientists in Israel have demonstrated a promising new technology in this space, 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 of the machinery limits where it can be used. Scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have now developed a more compact and affordable MRI system, which uses a much smaller magnetic field… Continue reading Mobile MRI machine detects brain disorders at a fraction of the cost
Researchers in Australia have tapped into cutting-edge materials science to produce the world’s thinnest X-ray detector, the component that translates energy from radiation into visual or electronic forms. The novel device is highly suited to the imagi… Continue reading World’s thinnest X-ray detector paves way for real-time imaging of cells
A groundbreaking new imaging technique, utilizing X-rays generated by a cutting-edge particle accelerator, is offering 3D images of whole organs in unprecedented detail. Demonstrating the technology researchers imaged the lung of a deceased COVID-19 pa… Continue reading World’s brightest X-rays usher in medical imaging revolution
