BioPhotonics staff

Using a biomedical scanner that resolves cellular processes at the molecular level, scientists can now detect a malfunctioning organ before it produces any anatomical changes. Spurring the device’s development is the need to study human diseases in animals that are hundreds of times smaller than people. The prototype of the technology, which is in the patent process, was validated by studies done at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital by a group of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). The device is based on single-photon emission computed tomography...Read full article
