Machine Learning-Enabled NIR Hyperspectral Imaging System IDs Hidden Tumors
TOKYO, Feb. 5, 2021 — Collaborating researchers from Tokyo University of Science, National Cancer Center Hospital East, and RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics have developed a technology using near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HIS) and machine learning that finds hidden tumors, such as those in deep tissue and/or covered by a mucosal layer. These tumors are difficult to find with standard methods such as endoscopy. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), often found in the stomach and small
Michelson Awarded €2.26 Million OCT Grant
ORPINGTON, England, March 4, 2014 — The European Union has awarded Michelson Diagnostics a €2.26 million Seventh Framework Programme grant to enhance the company’s OCT technology and research. The grant will further develop Michelson’s work in diagnosing malignant...
OCT images blood vessels that feed cancer
VIENNA and MUNICH – An optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer. Scientists at Medical University Vienna (MUW) are the...
OCT Images Blood Vessels that Feed Cancer
VIENNA and MUNICH, Oct. 9, 2012 — An optical coherence tomography technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer.
Guidelines Needed to Advance Diagnostic Accuracy
NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2012 — Tiny mechanical microscopes — those that can see inside single living cells — increasingly are being used to diagnose illness in hard-to-reach areas of the body, but specialists say they need improved, standardized guidelines to advance...
Hybrid Imager Spots Elusive Cancer
STORRS, Conn., Sept. 16, 2011 — A combination of three previously unrelated imaging tools promises to lead the way to diagnoses of early-stage ovarian cancer in high-risk women through minimally invasive surgery. The new technique may be better than the current standard procedure...
FDA Approves Human Trials of Cornell Dots
Jun 20, 2011 — NEW YORK, June 20, 2011 — The first clinical trial in humans of a new technology called Cornell Dots — brightly glowing nanoparticles that can light up cancer cells in PET-optical imaging — has been approved by the FDA. The new...
Quantum Dots: Applications for Artificial Atoms Expanding
Feb 23, 2011 — The use of quantum dots is nearly ubiquitous in Förster’s resonance energy transfer (FRET), but scientists are just beginning to scratch the surface on other applications for the semiconductor nanocrystals, such as in biosensors and as a way...
Liquid Lens Used for Subcutaneous High-Res Imaging
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2011 — An optical technology that provides unprecedented high-resolution, 3-D images of what lies below the skin’s surface by simply having the probe touch the skin was developed by University of Rochester optics professor Jannick Rolland. The aim of...
Imaging Living Lung Tissue
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21, 2010 — Fast-moving objects create blurry images in photography, and the same challenge exists when scientists observe cellular interactions within tissues that are constantly in motion, such as the breathing lung. In a recent study of mice at the...
Platinum, Blue Light Combine to Combat Cancer
COVENTRY, England, Dec. 14, 2010 — Research led by the University of Warwick has found a way to use blue light to activate what could be a highly potent platinum-based cancer treatment. The team, also consisting of researchers from Ninewells Hospital Dundee and the University...
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...
Plasmonic Nanobubbles Kill Cancer Cells
HOUSTON, Oct. 7, 2010 — Plasmonic Nanobubbles Kill Cancer Cells HOUSTON, Oct. 6, 2010 — Rice Plasmonic nanobubbles, generated around gold nanoparticles with a laser pulse, can detect and destroy cancer cells in vivo by creating tiny, shiny vapor bubbles that reveal...
NIR Light Enables Deep Look at Cells
ORLANDO, Sept. 16, 2010 — A “game-changing” technique using near-infrared light enables scientists to look deeper into the guts of cells, potentially opening up a new frontier in the fights against cancer and many other diseases. University of Central...
Schott, UScranton Get $2.8M for Exawatt Laser
DURYEA, Pa., Aug. 5, 2010 — Specialty glass maker Schott North America Inc. and the University of Scranton will receive $2.8 million in federal funds for research and development into the creation of a laser a thousand times more powerful than any available today, Pennsylvania...
Weak Laser Ignites Nanoparticles
GAINESVILLE, Fla., April 6, 2010 — Using a low-power laser engineering researchers have found they can ignite certain nanoparticles, a development they say opens the door to a wave of new technologies in health care, computing and automotive design. University of...
Golden Bullet Targets Cancer
ST. LOUIS, March 15, 2010 – The mythological silver bullet has just been turned gold. A highly targeted medical treatment, known as the silver bullet, the magic bullet or the Zuberkugel, has become a focu...
Beaming through to NOVEL USES for HOLOGRAPHY
Feb 28, 2010 — Typically, green, simple three-dimensional images of objects on flat paper are not unknown to today’s kids – or to anyone who has grown up during the past few decades. We encountered them first as wonderments – optical tricks that astounded and...
Tumors Under Laser Fire
MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 16, 2009 – A highly energetic ion beam in an accurately defined dose that provides a pin-sharp (and cost-effective) radiation treatment of tumors was experimentally demonstrated. Physicists at the Munich Centre for Advanced Photonics said modern techniques...
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...
Light Deactivates Anthrax
TROY, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2007 -- A new technique targets specific proteins, such as the dangerous anthrax toxin, and renders them harmless using nothing but light. The method could also be used to create new cancer treatments and antibacterial coatings. Scientists have long...
