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.

Handheld Probe Generates Precise Images Without Bulky, Costly Instruments
A new handheld probe developed by university and industry researchers in the Netherlands and France could give clinicians useful new imaging capabilities that fit in the palms of their hands. A technology that once filled up a whole lab bench has been shrunken down to a computer screen and a small probe approximately the size of a stapler. More...17 Nov 2014

Collaboration to Make Diagnostic Medical Imaging Less Hazardous Using Hyperpolarization Agents
A collaborative effort by scientists has led to the development of an innovative strategy that can considerably improve the capabilities of medical imaging with safer procedures for the patient. More...23 Oct 2014

Radiologists in Europe Launch Call for Action on Radiation Protection Measures
A Europe-wide Call for Action campaign has been launched comprising 12 points, which include encouraging appropriateness in imaging, keeping radiation doses within diagnostic reference levels, using the as low as reasonably achievable principle, emphasizing the need for up-to-date equipment, empowering patients, and joining forces with other stakeholders.

New Imaging Technology Shows Little Discrepancy Between Breast Cancer, Healthy Tissues
A new application has been effectively evaluated that will help surgeons better differentiate cancerous breast tissue from normal tissue, thereby decreasing the likelihood for repeat operations. More...30 Sep 2014

Image Analysis Algorithms Devised to Find Weak Spots in Muscles, Tendons, and Bones prone to Tearing, Breaking
Researchers have developed algorithms to detect weak spots in muscles, tendons, and bones predisposed to tearing or breaking. The technology, which needs to be further refined before it is used in patients, may soon help target minor strains and tiny injuries in the body’s tissues long before greater problems occur.
