Though rare, IV contrast material administration can sometimes result in patient injury. However researchers have developed a modified catheter that may prevent such events from occurring, according to a study in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR). http://www.physorg.com/news172733699.html Medicine & Health Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:40:02 EST news172733699 A major barrier to developing a hybrid positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system could be removed by using a novel approach for reconstructing data, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting in Toronto. Many researchers view fused PET/MR as an important next step in improving imaging capabilities and believe that PET/MR could become a viable alternative to hybrid PET/computed tomography (CT) systems. http://www.physorg.com/news164290366.html Medicine & Health Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:13:49 EST news164290366 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at Arizona State University's Mars Space Flight Facility are using the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter to monitor a new dust storm that has erupted on the Red Planet. http://www.physorg.com/news159470509.html Space & Earth Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:22:14 EST news159470509 The world's first radar breast imaging system developed at Bristol University that could revolutionise the way women are scanned for breast cancer, is being trialled at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT). http://www.physorg.com/news145700511.html Medicine & Health Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:21:51 EST news145700511 Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a low-cost, high-resolution imaging system that can be attached to a helicopter to create a complete and detailed picture of an area devastated by a hurricane or other natural disaster. The resulting visual information can be used to estimate the number of storm refugees and assess the need for health and humanitarian services. http://www.physorg.com/news142521417.html Technology Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:16:57 EST news142521417
