Paleontologists Teach Medical Students About Fossil Tumors
Using medical-physics tools such as CT scans, medical students can learn to recognize a tumor even in a 150-million-year-old dinosaur bone. Paleontologists say the role of disease during evolution ... > more -
Orthopedic Surgeons Help Athletes' ACLs Recover Better
A new procedure for torn ACLs could keep athletes back in the game longer. The knee has two bundles of fibers connecting the thighbone to the shinbone, and the new procedure, called double bundle, ... > more -
Exhibit Makes Big One's Risks Tangible
At San Francisco's Exploratorium, a scaled-down model of the city made with Jell-O helps visitors visualize how the city would shake during a major earthquake. In another display, a bowl filled with ... > 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 -
