Physicists Develop Ultrasound Alternative To Mammograms
Radiologists suspend a patient's breast in water, and then send sound waves through the water in order to image breast tissue. The device uses 256 ultrasonic sensors to assemble 50 to 70 two ... > more -
Operations Researchers Predict Path Of Pandemics
Using math and computer science, engineers created a model to forecast the progression of a future pandemic. They looked at the way diseases spread to new people and over distances in order to ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Proteomic Test For Breast Cancer
Biochemists look at 22 protein biomarkers to distinguish patients with breast cancer from those without it. The early detection test complements mammograms and is most applicable to women who are at ... > more -
Industrial Designers Develop Harness To Provide Spine Support During Water Rescues
Industrial designers created a floating support brace from foam and other materials. It protects the spine from damage during swiftwater rescues. The harness corrects itself if it turns upside down ... > more -
Physiologists And Microbiologists Find Link Between Sitting And Poor Health
Physiologists analyzing obesity, heart disease, and diabetes found that the act of sitting shuts down the circulation of a fat-absorbing enzyme called lipase. They found that standing up engages ... > 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 -
Advanced CT Scanner Provides Cardiologists Faster, More Detailed Images
New technology allows cardiologists to capture detailed pictures of the heart in less than one second, revealing subtle changes in blood flow and blockages in tiny blood vessels. This machine sends ... > more -
Cardiac Surgeons Install Tiny Temporary Pump Inside Heart
Cardiologists weave an eight gram pump through an artery in the groin into the left ventricle, where it pumps up to five liters of blood per minute. This temporary device assists the heart as it ... > more -
Industrial Technologists Design Smart Pen To Record What It Writes And Hears
Psychoacoustics researchers and industrial technologists use a pen computer to assist visually impaired students to learn science and math. The pen writes in ink, but when used on paper printed with ... > more -
