New studies by radiologists
have shown that MRI can be
just as accurate as CT scans
at helping radiologists
diagnose pathologies such as
cancer, cysts and kidney
stones -- while carrying

Vaccine For Ear Infections
Infectious disease experts
have completed clinical
trials on a vaccine designed
to eliminate chronic ear
infections. The vaccine
works on 7 pneumococcal
bacterial strains that cause

Beating Bone Marrow Cancer
To lessen the impact of
chemotherapy on bone marrow
cancer patients,
hematologists are recruiting
the patients' own immune
systems to help. White blood
cells are extracted before a

With New Antibiotics, Pediatricians Fight Proxy War on Bugs
Strep throat has become harder to fight using penicillin or amoxicillin, but that's not because the Streptococci have developed a resistance to those drugs. Instead, more than 50 percent of children ... > more -
Computer Scientists Make Laser Eye Operation Simpler
A new technique called Patterned Scanning Laser uses a computer instead of a human to apply laser pulses to burn away abnormal blood vessels. Instead of manually operating the laser, the pattern of ... > more -
Biochemists Create Microbicidal Coating to Fight Hospital Infections
New bandages with microbicidal coating kill the most harmful bacteria on contact. The coating is washable and can also be used on hospital gowns and bed sheets, which will help reduce the risk of ... > more -
Neuroendocrinologists Unlock Chemical Trigger to Puberty
Researchers have discovered the precise chemical chain reaction that could be the much-sought-after puberty trigger: The KiSS-1 gene, which produces a protein in the hypothalamus, a part of the ... > more -
Orthopedic Oncologists Give Children Artificial Bones That Can Grow With Patient
A new kind of expandable bone prosthesis -- implanted in the legs of pediatric patients to substitute bone that was removed due to cancer -- is helping children avoid amputations and lead a normal ... > more -
Engineers Devise Implantable Dosimeter to Track Success of Radiation Therapy

Otolaryngologists Can Now Remove Growths on Outpatients
New endoscopic techniques allow doctors to operate patient's throats in the office, without putting them to sleep. Operating with several types of lasers through fiber optics, doctors can now remove ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
A new brain-imaging method allows physicians to diagnose Alzheimer's before its onset. A radioactive dye is injected in the blood and travels to the brain, where it attaches to plaque deposits of ... > more -
Chromosomal Test By Molecular Biologists Determines Cancer Spread
A new biopsy test, created by molecular biologists, can tell ocular melanoma patients if theirs is the kind that will spread. Using very thin needles, surgeons collect cells from tumors and analyze ... > more -
Medical Physicists Improve Vision for Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy requires visualizing exactly where a tumor is located, usually from looking at hundreds of different X-ray , CT or PET scan images. A new system patches together 2D images into one ... > more
