Hypofractionated Prostate Radiotherapy Electromagnetic Positioning Tool Tracks Tumors in Real Time During Treatment
A new add-on tool to existing radiotherapy equipment has been designed to track a tumor at any time during the treatment. The system could enable the clinic to enhance precision in their cancer treatment, offer less side effects, faster treatments, and higher cure rates. More...19 Nov 2014
Photoacoustic Imaging Optimizes Visualization of Cancerous Tissues Using Time Reversal Technology
Unique time-reversal technology is being used to better focus light in tissue, such as muscles and organs. Current high-resolution optical imaging technology allows researchers to see about 1-mm-deep into the body. In an effort to enhance this imaging technology, the investigators are employing photoacoustic imaging, which combines light with acoustic waves (sound), to form a clearer image, even several centimeters into the skin.

Use of Radiology Data Mining Tool Reduces Length of Stay for CT Biopsy
Use of a data and analysis tool allows radiology clinical coordinators to facilitate a patient-centered imaging service, acting as a care manager for patients with positive findings on their computed tomography scans. More...19 Nov 2014
Coronary CT Angiography Reveals Link between Coronary Artery Plaque and Liver Disease
Researchers using coronary computed tomography angiography imaging have found a close correlation between high-risk coronary artery plaque and a common liver disease. The research revealed that a single CT scan can detect both conditions. More...19 Nov 2014

Low-Resolution Ultrasound Used to Measure Muscle Health
People suffering from muscular dystrophy could one day assess the effectiveness of their medication with the help of a smartphone-linked device. The new study used a new way to process ultrasound imaging data that could lead to hand-held devices to provide fast, effective medical information. More...18 Nov 2014
