The study find that the an EEG (electroencephalogram) can provide a valuable biomarker for detecting delirium, a serious mental disturbance that is often underrecognized, as well as predicting poor clinical outcomes, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found. In a paper published in Neurology, the team reported that the generalized slowing of brain rhythms,…
The researches find that the for children fearful of undergoing MRI scans, an inexpensive everyday item used as a marker; such as a jelly baby lolly or a plastic, fish-shaped soy sauce container, might make the process a little less intimidating. And thanks to a QUT study, these and other relatively cheap, common items have…
A team of researchers from university of Texas at Arlington; University of Rhode Island and Brown University; have collaborated to come up with use of nanoparticles in targeted therapy for deep seated cancers. Their success with the nanoparticles is publish in a study titled; “X-ray induced photodynamic therapy with copper-cysteamine nanoparticles in tumors,” in the…
The study find that the MRI’s give us a picture of our body’s insides organs, bones, nerves and soft tissue. But what if MRI’s could show us the molecular makeup of our body parts; and help doctors more quickly determine the onset of disease and begin treatment? In a paper published today in Nature Communications,…
The researches find that the Successful combinations of radiation and immunotherapy depend on the presence of live T cells within the tumor; however, radiotherapy is believe to damage T cells. Here, based on longitudinal in vivo imaging and functional analysis; we report that a large proportion of T cells survive clinically relevant doses of radiation…
The researches find that the patients with family and personal history of allergic reactions to contrast media are at risk for future reactions, according to a large study published in the journal Radiology. Allergic reactions to commonly used CT contrast media may be prevented by premedicating patients with antihistamines and using a different type of…
The researches find that campaign among physician groups to reduce the amount of imaging in medicine, the rates of use of CT, MRI and other scans have continued to increase in both the U.S. and Ontario, Canada, according to a new study of more than 135 million imaging exams conducted by researchers at UC Davis,…
The researches find that the The detective quantum efficiency (DQE) ;of indirect flat panel detectors (I‐FPDs);l is limit at higher x‐ray energies (e.g. 100‐140 kVp) by low absorption in their scintillating x‐ray conversion layer. Therefore While increasing the thickness of the scintillator can improve its x‐ray absorption efficiency, this approach is potentially limited by reduced…
The study find that the Traditionally, prostate cancer is detected via prostate cancer-associated blood biomarkers; such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Doctors often also use ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging MRI to look for physical changes in prostate tissue. Newer techniques that harness positron emission tomography (PET) scans can even capture molecular detail; but those tactics are relatively more expensive and…
The researches find that the 3-D MRI computing can measure strain in the heart using image registration method. Traditional method involves giving the patient a dose of gadolinium which can affect the kidney, researchers at WMG; University of Warwick have found. MRIs are used to diagnose cardiac disease such as cardiomyopathy, heart attacks, irregular heartbeats and…
The researchers find that the Many patients with concussion have normal CT scans and are discharged from the hospital without follow-up. But a blood test that is currently under development; and costs a fraction of the price of a brain scan may flag concussion in these CT-negative patients; enabling them to be evaluate for long-term…
The researches find that The aim of the study was to compare CE-MRV with DANTE-SPACE on a 1.5T MRI system for the diagnosis of DVT. But The patients are diagnose with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities based on swelling, pain, and superficial varicose veins of the lower extremities. But MRI examination confirmed the…
