Detecting Colon Cancer, Virtually
For scientists researching ways to prevent death, colon cancer offers a tempting target because screening techniques can spot precancerous tissue, and it is known which part of the population should be checked. And even though benign lesions (known as adenomas) may take up to a decade to become dangerous, there are methods to safely remove them. A 3-D endoluminal view of a sigmoid villous...
Hyperspectral Imaging for the Life Sciences

Arsenic may provide new imaging agent for tumors
Doctors use methods such as PET, CT, MRI, ultrasound and optical imaging to study tumor development and to see how well therapy is working. Of these techniques, nuclear imaging has the advantage of requiring only low concentrations of tracer/reporter. However, many isotopes now in use decay rapidly, which means that they can’t be used for long-term studies. Researchers used arsenic isotopes...
