Pain Free Mammogram
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 a computer,

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

Safer Scans for Pregnant Women
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

Prosthetic Bones
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 life. The

Urologists Use Optics, Chemistry to Catch Small Tumors
Some bladder cancer tumors are so small, surgeons can't see them. Urologist Edward Messing is using a new liquid dye that reacts to light to help him see all the small bladder tumors that might have ... > more -
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
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 bone marrow ... > 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 -
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 -
Pediatric Cardiologists Show Hormone Therapy Reduces Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Studying childhood cancer patients who have suffered tissue and organ damage from chemotherapy treatments, researchers have found that growth hormones can reverse damage to the heart. Before the ... > 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 -
Computer Scientists Devise Tool For Visualizing Single Organs
With MRI or CT scans, clinicians have to identify and extract the anatomy out of cross-sections views of the body. Computer scientists have created a new interactive tool that can examine scans and ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Use Optics To Detect Early Stages Of Colon Cancer
Biomedical engineers have developed a new technique to detect colon cancer. A thin optical fiber shines light onto the interior of the colon. Computer analysis of the backscattered light indicates if ... > more -
Dermatologists Detail The Scary Signs Of Stress Revealed By Skin
Dermatologists know that stress can cause hair to fall out, acne to break out, and many other problems. These manifestations of stress can cause even more anxiety. Stress causes cortisol levels to ... > more
