MRI News
Micromagnets for MRIs
BOULDER, Colo., June 20, 2008 – MRIs are coming to you live and in color. Thanks to tiny magnets that could one day be injected into the body, MRIs will be able to provide enhanced sensitivity, more information and color to a procedure that currently is imaged in black and white. According to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), the new micromagnets could also act as “smart tags” that identify particular cells, tissues and physiological conditions...
Particles Detect Cancer
PROVIDENCE, R.I., May 27, 2008 -- The smallest magnetic nanoparticles created to date can be sent on such seek-and-find missions for tumor cells and emit signals MRI scans can detect. Brown University chemist Shouheng Sun and a team of researchers have created peptide-coated iron...
Boston Scientific, Surgi-Vision to Develop Cardiac Devices
Apr 15, 2008 — Boston Scientific Corp. and Surgi-Vision Inc. of Baltimore, Md., announced a deal to license and develop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-safe technology for implantable cardiac devices. The companies will jointly develop a commercial application of...
MRI Reveals Tumor Patterns
SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 26, 2008 -- A noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method has the potential to determine how tumors will respond to treatments based on their specific molecular properties. "For the first time, we have shown that the activity of specific molecular...
NMR-on-a-Chip Devised
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Feb. 20, 2008 -- A supersensitive minisensor can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in tiny liquid samples flowing through a novel microchip. The prototype device, which combines an atomic magnetometer with a fluid channel, could be used to rapidly screen for...
Erasable Holograms Created
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 6, 2008 -- A special light-sensitive plastic film sandwiched between two pieces of glass coated with transparent electrodes can capture images when laser light and an external electric field are applied. Pictures taken from many 2-D perspectives are assembled...
UK Examines PET Utility
LEEDS, England, Nov. 13, 2007 -- Positron emission tomography, or PET scans, can help clinicians diagnose and treat some cancers, but it is not clear yet whether the imaging technology helps people with cancer live longer and healthier lives, according to a comprehensive review by...
MRI Finds Brain Marker
OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 25, 2007 -- A new marker that may aid in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease has been found through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). "The findings of this study implicate a potential functional, rather than structural, brain...
DIFFRACTION
Aug 1, 2007 — Part of the Wiley Series in “Pure and Applied Optics,” the 429-page book Diffraction, Fourier Optics and Imaging presents theories of diffraction, imaging and related topics based on Fourier analysis and synthesis techniques. Using an approach that...
Biomedicine Grants Awarded
BETHESDA, Md., June 12, 2007 -- The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a part of the National Institutes of Health, announced today it will provide $20.65 million in grants to fund cutting-edge equipment required to advance biomedical research. Awarded to research...
MRI-Safe Motor Propels Robot Biopsies
BALTIMORE, Md., April 6, 2007 -- A motor without metal or electricity can safely power remote-controlled robotic medical devices used for cancer biopsies and therapies guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The motor that drives the devices can be so precisely controlled by...
Partnership Seeks to Advance Medical Tomography
ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 23, 2007 -- A new research partnership between the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and a Rochester-based startup company led by former Eastman Kodak Co. executives will apply new image processing technology to scans from patients with the goal of...
Medical Imaging Research Gets $3M From DoD
HOUSTON, Jan. 8, 2007 -- Rice University has received a $3 million award from the US Department of Defense for a five-year program to develop miniaturized molecular imaging technologies -- including microendoscope and needle-compatible fiber-optic systems -- for use in...
Imaging Method Detects Alzheimer's Risk
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2, 2007 -- An innovative brain-scan technology shows promise in detecting those at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, years before symptoms become obvious, by showing in living brains the abnormal protein deposits that can lead to the disease --...
New MRI Technique is Ultrasensitive
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 25, 2006 -- A new technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allows the detection of signals from molecules present at 10,000 times lower concentrations than conventional MRI could prove valuable for medical diagnosis, and has the potential to one day...
Cheap, Quiet, Portable MRI Successfully Tested
BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 8, 2006 -- The term MRI often conjures up images of a huge, heavy, doughnut-shaped machine in a hospital's special treatment room that costs a lot of money and makes a lot of noise. But researchers are looking to change that perception with the successful...
Luminescent Sensor Enables Biomedical Imaging
CARDIFF, Wales, July 26, 2006 -- A new way of detecting zinc in the body -- a luminescent probe that changes when the element is present -- could one day help doctors detect illnesses such as cancer. Simon Pope and colleagues in Cardiff University's school of chemistry have...
Philips to Buy MRI Component Maker for $1.3B
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands and LATHAM, N.Y., June 15, 2006 -- Royal Philips Electronics announced today it will buy Intermagnetics General Corp., a maker of superconducting magnets used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, for $27.50 per share or approximately $1.3 billion in cash. The board of...
