Researchers report in the February 1st issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics that the use of 3D ultrasound with the Clarity(TM) Breast System provided enhanced image information to enable radiation oncologists to better define the treatment region when delivering partial breast irradiation treatment (PBI) for breast cancer. The Clarity Breast System [...]

In small studies, mepolizumab reduced number of exacerbations
A new type of asthma therapy might be especially helpful for people with severe asthma who often have to take oral steroids to control their symptoms.
The drug is called mepolizumab, and two small studies in the March 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine [...]

When it comes to solving complex problems, Geoffrey von Maltzahn, MIT graduate student and biomedical engineer, looks to nature for solutions. Finding inspiration in systems that evolution has produced, von Maltzahn is currently helping to tackle one of society’s biggest challenges: improving tumor detection and therapeutic delivery in order to boost the survival rate of [...]

New automated breast ultrasound system automatically acquires volumes and offers intelligent clinical applications. Siemens Healthcare recently introduced the Acuson S2000 Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS), the first multi-use ultrasound breast system that automatically acquires volume images of the breast. Thanks to the user-independent, standardized image acquisition, the system is ideally suited for early detection and [...]

Researchers used a new imaging technique to take high quality color photographs of the clinical stages of ocular inflammation in mice, and the technology could help in the monitoring and treatment of diseases of the eye that may cause blindness.
The study, “The Clinical Time-Course of Experimental Autoimmune Uveoretinitis Using Topical Endoscopic Fundal Imaging with Histologic [...]

Mathematicians at the University of Liverpool have found that it is possible to gain full control of sound waves which could lead to improved medical scans, for technology such as ultra sound machines.
Working in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, they tested the numerical properties of a flat lens made out of [...]

All of us break the rules from time to time — even crystals.
“There are all sorts of rules about what crystals can do during phase transitions,” said Mark D. Hollingsworth, associate professor of chemistry at Kansas State University. “For a long time, scientists have assumed that the norm applied for all sorts of substances.
But aperiodic [...]
