Wearable X-ray-detecting fabric offers a flexible alternative to current imaging tech

Since their discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, X-rays have become a staple of modern medical care, from imaging teeth and broken bones to screening for the early signs of breast cancer.

Survey finds some confusion over mammogram guidelines

Mammograms can find cancer early before symptoms appear. Regular screening decreases the risk of dying from breast cancer. But a recent survey question by the Annenberg Public Policy Center shows that some Americans appear ...

AI performs virtual tissue staining at super-resolution

Traditional histopathology, crucial for disease diagnosis, relies on chemically staining tissue samples to highlight cellular structures for microscopic examination by pathologists. This labor-intensive "histochemical staining" ...

Breast cancer incidence trends vary by age

Breast cancer incidence trends differ by age, even among older women, particularly by race and ethnicity and stage at diagnosis, according to a study published online June 24 in JAMA Network Open.

AI matches doctors in mapping lung tumors for radiation therapy

In radiation therapy, precision can save lives. Oncologists must carefully map the size and location of a tumor before delivering high-dose radiation to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. But this process, ...

Dual wavefront correction enhances quality of deep-tissue imaging

Wavefront shaping is a promising approach to deep tissue imaging. Until now, it was possible only via an invasive approach: fluorescent points were manually inserted into the sample, and the tissue was indirectly mapped by ...

Removing out-of-pocket fee improves access to 3D mammography

A new study by UCLA researchers shows that removing a modest $45 out-of-pocket fee significantly improved access to digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), an advanced breast cancer screening technology. Researchers ...

Neuroscience

New instrument for enhanced imaging of nerve fibers in the brain

In order to understand the structure and functioning of the brain, neuroscientists need to study the complex, three-dimensional pathways and connections of nerve fibers. The intersection of multiple nerve fibers poses a particular ...

AI-assisted model enhances low-quality MRI heart scans

An AI-assisted model developed by researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and the School of Engineering can take low-quality MRI heart scans and turn them into high-quality images, while reducing the ...

New MRI approach maps brain metabolism, revealing disease signatures

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

ImmunoPET tracer enhances early detection of liver cancer

A novel molecular imaging agent targeting glypican-3 (GPC3) has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including tumors smaller than one centimeter, according to results ...
