Imaging System Speeds Diagnosis with Real-Time Biopsy Analysis
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 13, 2022 — Results of a pilot study conducted at the University of Rochester showed that a system based on two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM) enabled rapid diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancer through real-time imaging of unprocessed, fresh tissue biopsies. TPFM imaging of nonmelanoma skin cancer was able to occur within minutes of obtaining biopsies, and the system provided histological features comparable to those of conventional histology. The TPFM-based system could be used to diagnose
Laser Endomicroscopy Enables Real-time Detection of Lung Cancer
PHILADELPHIA, May 23, 2022 — Researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a method to detect lung cancer at the cellular level in real time during biopsy. The method ensures earlier detection of cancer cells that may have been too...

Transparency Allows Better Diagnostic Imaging
PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2014 — New diagnostic medical applications could be in the pipeline, allowing scientists to better image developmental problems and disease within the human body. It is now possible to see through the entire human body, including its tissues and organs,...
Hybrid Light and Sound Imaging System Wins NSF Grant
ARLINGTON, Texas, Feb. 12, 2013 — A University of Texas at Arlington bioengineer has received a National Science Foundation grant to use light and sound to produce an accurate image of a patient’s deep tissue.
High-Speed 3-D Imaging Could Improve Cancer Screening
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2011 — Researchers at MIT have developed an imaging system that enables high-speed, 3-D imaging of microscopic precancerous changes in the esophagus or colon. The new system is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques, which offer a way to...
Laser-based Technique Diagnoses Melanoma
DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 23, 2011 — High-resolution images from a laser-based tool developed at Duke University could help doctors better diagnose melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The improved diagnoses could potentially save thousands of lives and millions of dollars in...
Laser Technique Images Cancer Quickly and Clearly
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Dec. 8, 2010 — The long, anxious wait for biopsy results could soon be over, thanks to a tissue-imaging technique developed at the University of Illinois. The research team demonstrated the novel microscopy technique, called nonlinear interferometric...
Olympus America Licenses Patents to BioImagene
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., July 26, 2010 — BioImagene Inc. and Olympus America Inc. have signed a nonexclusive worldwide licensing agreement that allows BioImagene to access Olympus’ patent portfolio in the field of digital pathology and virtual microscopy. The license is the...
Sensor Speeds Tumor Detection
DRESDEN, Germany, June 8, 2010 — As an alternative to invasive and time-consuming biopsies, scientists have fitted a microscopic image sensor in an endoscope for in vivo cancer diagnosis. The fiber transmits the laser light to the microscanner mirror. Both are fitted into the tip...
Omnyx Licenses Olympus Patents
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., March 15, 2010 – Olympus America Inc. signed a nonexclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Omnyx LLC, a joint venture of GE Healthcare and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The agreement will allow Omnyx to access Olympus America’s extensive...
Lasers Could Speed Cancer Testing
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18, 2010 – When a tissue biopsy is sent to a lab to be analyzed for cancer, it can take hours, days or even a week to get the results. Now, a new analysis technology developed by researchers i...
Virtual Brain Surgery
BALTIMORE, Nov. 24, 2009 – Jin U. Kang, an electrical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, has spent years tinkering with lasers and optical fiber – studying what happens when light strikes matter. Now, he has built a tool to help brain surgeons locate and get a clear look...
Tool Aims to Reduce Biopsies
BOZEMAN, Mont., March 30, 2009 -- A handheld microscope that uses laser light to form an image of the skin's cellular structure could someday reduce the number of biopsies needed to diagnose skin cancer. Biopsies -- invasive, often painful procedures to remove skin samples for...
Frost & Sullivan Award: Naviscan
Feb 20, 2009 — Naviscan Inc. of San Diego has received the 2009 North American Frost & Sullivan Emerging Technology of the Year Award. The prize recognizes the company’s progress in developing a next-generation breast-specific PET scanner and adjunct biopsy...
The Doctor Will See You Now
Feb 1, 2009 — If the old saying is right and an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure, then some of the latest medical imaging breakthroughs could represent tons of prevention and even more of cure. There are techniques with the potential to catch...
Wireless Grippers Grab Cells
BALTIMORE, Jan. 13, 2009 – Johns Hopkins researchers have invented dust-particle-size devices that can be used to grab and remove living cells from hard-to-reach places without the need for electrical wires, tube or batteries. Instead, these microgrippers are actuated by...
Molecular Breast Imaging
ROCHESTER, Minn., Sept. 5, 2008 – Researchers have found a way to “light up” cancer hiding in dense breast tissue. In the largest-ever study to compare molecular breast imaging (MBI) to mammography, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., have shown that MBI can detect...
Cancer Probe Trials Funded
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19, 2008 -- A new grant will allow a researcher to continue developing and testing a device that uses light to detect skin cancer without the need for an invasive biopsy. University of Texas at Austin biomedical engineer James Tunnell has been awarded a...
Patterns Classify Cancer
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 23, 2008 – Long has “nature versus nurture” been a convenient catchphrase to describe what determines or causes individual differences in physical and behavioral traits. Now, nature and nurture have both found their way into the world of biotechnology by way...
