Exploding cells, one by one
Blowing up cells really isn’t anything new. It’s done in laser surgery, for example, to tissues in cells. But a new mass spectrometry method now can create explosions on a one-by-one basis without wrecking a cell’s chemical properties. Akos Vertes, a professor of chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology at The George Washington University in Washington, and graduate student Bindesh...
Imaging lung disease
A new type of MRI scan has been created by a team of scientists and clinicians from the University of Nottingham Medical School, part of the Queen’s Medical Centre campus. The research unit was...

Bill in US Senate threatens medical imaging
Tracking the US health care bill and how it will affect the imaging industry is like trying to shoot at a moving target. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bill, currently being debated in the Senate, has changes in the physician fee structure and reimbursement that will not be good news for the imaging industry. However, several members of the House and Senate may introduce legislation to...
Opportunities abound for LEDs in medical devices
