Cambridge study adds evidence linking brain inflammation with dementia

Posted on by

A new study has found a link between the build-up of damaging toxic proteins and the presence of neuroinflammation in three different types of dementia

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.

DNA microscopy offers a new way to image molecules

Posted on by

A completely new category of microscopy has been invented by researchers in the US. Dubbed DNA microscopy, the technique tags RNA molecules with a range of DNA “barcodes” which in turn flag the identity and location of the molecules, even whe… Continue reading DNA microscopy offers a new way to image molecules→

Magnetic metamaterial amplifies MRI for clearer images in less time

Posted on by

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a great tool for diagnosing disease in different organs and tissues, but it can be costly and cumbersome. Now, engineers at the Boston University Photonics Center have developed a new device, small enough f… Continue reading Magnetic metamaterial amplifies MRI for clearer images in less time→

Tomography Through An Infinite Grid Of Resistors

Posted on by

One of the vast untapped potentials of medicine is the access to imaging equipment. A billion people have difficulty getting access to an x-ray, and that says nothing about access to MRIs or CAT scans. Over the past few years, [Jean Rintoul] has been working on a low-cost way to …read more

Towards Open Biomedical Imaging

Posted on by

We live in a world where anyone can build a CT machine. Yes, anyone. It’s made of laser-cut plywood and it looks like a Stargate. Anyone can build an MRI machine. Of course, these machines aren’t really good enough for medical diagnosis, or good enough to image anything that’s alive for that matter. This project for the Hackaday Prize is something else, though. It’s biomedical imaging put into a package that is just good enough to image your lungs while they’re still in your body.

The idea behind Spectra is to attach two electrodes to the body (a chest cavity, …read more
