Pinpointing Problems In The Brain
Doctors are now using a new
kind of brain scan called
magnetoencephalography
(MEG), which measures brain
activity in real time. In
some cases, MEG can pinpoint
the source of an epileptic

Diagnosing Heartburn
Gastroenterologists are
using confocal laser
endomicroscopy (CLE) to more
effectively diagnose chronic
heartburn. The technology
gives doctors an image of
the esophagus that is
magnified 1,000 times. A
