Real-Time Radiation Monitor Designed to Decrease Radiation Exposure for Medical Workers
A real-time radiation monitor has been developed that signals by beeping in response to radiation exposure during cardiac-catheterization procedures. The device significantly reduces the amount of exposure that medical workers receive. More...05 Jan 2015
SPECT Imaging Scan to Find Source of Epileptic Seizures
Some patients cannot tolerate the side effects of medications that are used to treat epileptic seizures and become candidates for surgery in which the epileptogenic zone in the brain is removed. Surgery is only an option if the affected part of the brain is not responsible for critical functions. Sometimes it is not possible to localize an epileptogenic zone with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan, or an electroencephalogram. More...04 Jan 2015
