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.  More...

Image: Coronary CT angiography images demonstrate examples of high-risk plaque features. A, Image was obtained in a 63-year-old man with partially calcified plaque, positive remodeling (vertical arrow), and spotty calcium (horizontal arrow). B, A cross-sectional view of a noncalcified plaque in a 65-year-old man demonstrates a napkin-ring sign with a central low-attenuation area, surrounded by a peripheral rim of higher attenuation (arrow) next to the lumen (∗). C, Image in a 60-year-old woman with partially calcified plaque demonstrates a low CT number in the midportion (arrow) (Photo courtesy of the journal Radiology).

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...

Image:  In DMD muscles, light-colored fat cells invade the deep-colored cells of healthy muscle, creating a different ultrasound signature that can be converted into easy-to-understand values or signals to be displayed by a device to be used for monitoring muscle health (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).

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...
