Helping Patients Walk Again
Physical Therapists are
helping people with central
nervous system disorders
learn to walk again. A
wireless computer-enabled
device aids those suffering
from a condition called foot

Kidney Exchange
Computer Scientists have
created an algorithm able to
sort through up to 10,000
kidney donor/patient pairs,
taking over the mammoth task
of coordinating paired
donation. The new algorithm
was needed to make the

Faster Results for Breast Cancer
A new digital microscopy
system allows doctors to
examine biopsy tissue and
diagnose breast cancer
within hours instead of
weeks. The same instrument
can be used for all kinds of

Oh My Aching Hands
Doctors have found evidence
that carpal tunnel syndrome
develops after an injury
shears the tissue that lines
tendons within the carpal
tunnel. As the injury heals,
the resulting scar tissue
impedes the sliding motion

Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
Building upon a recent discovery that the same Alzheimer's disease process that goes on in the brain also occurs in the eye, researchers have developed a pair of optical tests that can determine the ... > more -
Radiologists Use Digital Tomosynthesis To Produce 3-d Image Of Breast
Radiologists have devised a better way to perform a mammogram, called digital tomosynthesis. An X-ray tube moves in an arc around the breast, capturing several images. The information is then sent to ... > more -
Orthodontists Diagnose Sleep Apnea More Easily with X-Rays
Diagnosing sleep apnea -- a chronic condition that causes teen-agers to stop breathing during sleep -- is difficult and often means staying at an overnight sleep lab. A new test can spot with problem ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers Improve Dental Imaging And Care
Biomedical engineers used advanced cone beam imaging technology take a series of two dimensional x-rays, which enabled them to create a detailed three dimensional picture of the patient’s ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers Combat Congestive Heart Failure With Aquapheresis
Biomedical engineers designed a machine that removes the excess sodium and water from blood. If not removed, those items can compromise breathing and heart function. An intravenous catheter withdraws ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Test For Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Electrical engineers use multiple wavelengths of light to see through the skin in order to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood. This approach enables first responders and doctors to ... > more -
Pulmonologists Extend Lung-Transplant Patients' Lives with Inhaled Anti-Rejection Drug
Half of all lung transplant patients don't live past the fifth year after the procedure, due in part to chronic rejection of the new organs. A new, inhaled form of a commonly used anti-rejection drug ... > more -
Cardiac Electrophysiologists Make MRIs Safe For People With Pacemakers
Biomedical Engineers found a way to prevent pacemakers from confusing the signals sent out by MRI machines with an actual heart emergency. Decreasing the strength of the electromagnetic field helps, ... > more -
Engineers Devise Implantable Dosimeter to Track Success of Radiation Therapy
Radiologists could soon measure the amount of radiation exposure experienced by different tissues using an implantable capsule. The device contains a small dosimeter and sends radiation exposure data ... > more -
Cardiologists Develop Method To Analyze Risk Of Death After An Aortic Aneurysm
Cardiologists found that an aortic tear poses the highest risk to patients if the false channel it creates clots partially. Their study showed that CT and MRI images show how much clotting has ... > more
