Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a low-cost, portable optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanner that promises to bring the […]
Machine learning approach for low-dose CT imaging yields superior results: Findings make a strong case for harnessing the power of artificial intelligence in CT
Machine learning has the potential to vastly advance medical imaging, particularly computerized tomography (CT) scanning, by reducing radiation exposure and […]
Quantum physics and origami for the ultimate get-well card: Scientists have combined the simplicity of paper with the complexity of quantum physics for point-of-care testing
Paper-based diagnostic tests are cheap, convenient and biodegradable. However, their use is limited by conventional dyes — which are not […]
PET imaging agent may allow early measurement of efficacy of breast cancer therapy
Physicians may soon have a new way to measure the efficacy or failure of hormone therapy for breast cancer patients, […]
Typical mutations in children of radar soldiers
The offspring of radar soldiers exposed to high doses of radiation during their service experience more genetic alterations than families […]
Miniature magnetic swimming devices to revolutionize diagnostics and drug delivery
Scientists have created miniature magnetic swimming devices — which mimic the appearance of sperm cells — that could revolutionise disease […]
A study using Drosophila sheds light on the metastatic behavior of human tumors
Metastatic tumours are characterised by a high degree of chromosomal instability — that is to say a constant change in […]
Nano-optic endoscope sees deep into tissue at high resolution: Researchers adopt metalens technology in a new endoscopic optical imaging catheter to better detect disease, including cancer
The diagnosis of diseases based in internal organs often relies on biopsy samples collected from affected regions. But collecting such […]
Broken bones among older people increase risk of death for up to 10 years: Femur, pelvic fractures pose similar risk as hip fractures
Broken bones among older people increase their risk of death for up to 10 years, according to a new study […]
