What started off in the basement of Raviv Melamed’s house resulted in a sensor that would allow devices to “see through” barriers such as skin and walls, with its first application having the ability to see malignant growth through human tissue to identify early-stage breast cancer.

Aussie researchers have found protocoled 3D laser scanning to be as good as noncontrast MRI for assessing breast volume, according to a small study running in the April edition of Annals of Plastic Surgery. 

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 8 — UnityPoint Health – Meriter (Madison, Wis.) installed two CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution Plus systems (see video link) as part of an upgrade designed to enhance and expedite diagnostic imaging for orthopaedic and general radiology patients at the 448-bed hospital.These digital X-ray rooms are used to perform joint, extremity, hip, spine and other exams for Meriter-based orthopaedic specialists as well as surgeons from the University of Wisconsin who use the hospital’s surgical suites.One room is designed for ease of use with patients on carts that need chest X-rays and the other room handles cross-table work using the upright Bucky. Both imaging systems have a wall stand on a rail with a removable wireless CARESTREAM DRX Plus 3543 detector and a wireless CARESTREAM DRX Plus 3543 detector that is used in the table Bucky and for tabletop exams.

Best, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and LabPON, the first clinical laboratory to transition to 100 percent histopathology digital diagnosis, today announced its plans to create a digital database of massive aggregated sets of annotated pathology images and big data utilizing Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution1. The database will provide pathologists with a wealth of clinical information for the development of image analytics algorithms for computational pathology and pathology education, while promoting research and discovery to develop new insights for disease assessment, including cancer.

When functional MRI (fMRI) was developed in the early 1990s, it was the latest in a long line of imaging modalities that allowed scientists and researchers to use changes in blood oxygenation and flow to infer neural activity. Since the seminal research paper was published by Seiji Ogawa, PhD—then working at AT&T Bell Laboratories—fMRI has provided insight in how the brain forms memories and processes pain, emotion, or language.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Wellman Center for Photomedicine have used coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scatterings (CARS) microscopy to improve detection of melanoma, the most common skin cancer.
