Tami Freeman, PhD[email protected]Molecular ImagingInnovative U.K. center focuses on brain researchInvestigations into the workings of the human brain are being undertaken by scientists from many disciplines. The Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre aims to bring researchers and specialists together to access state-of-the-art brain imaging instruments.November 22, 2012Clinical NewsDutch group works on producing clearer ultrasound imagesLipid-coated gas microbubbles injected into the blood can be used as an ultrasound contrast agent for diagnosis of cancers or cardiovascular disease. However, most existing contrast-enhanced ultrasound techniques suffer from artifacts due to nonlinear wave propagation through the contrast agent.November 7, 2012Clinical NewsMR navigators can track tumor motionNavigators show promise for real-time organ tracking and breath-hold monitoring during MR-guided radiotherapy. They are a fast and precise method for monitoring and real-time tracking of anatomical landmarks by providing direct MRI feedback on anatomical changes for more precise radiation delivery.October 31, 2012Clinical NewsDose debate intensifies in oncologic imagingAs radiotherapy delivery techniques continue to advance and new systems emerge, have we reached the point at which it's possible to accurately deliver the planned dose distribution? At last month's annual meeting of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology meeting in Barcelona, experts addressed this question.June 24, 2012Molecular ImagingGerman Cancer Research Center focuses on novel therapiesCould beams of ion species other than protons and carbon ions prove valuable for particle therapy? This question was posed in a scientific session at last month's annual meeting of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology meeting held in Barcelona.June 6, 2012Clinical NewsSwiss team uses x-ray images to track scanned protonsA novel beam's eye view x-ray imaging system could be used to monitor tumor motion during scanned proton therapy, researchers from a Swiss proton therapy center told attendees at the annual meeting of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology.May 30, 2012Molecular ImagingCERN fosters collaboration for medical advancesCERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is renowned for its pioneering research in fundamental physics -- investigating the origins of the universe and how it works. Some of its tools, such as particle accelerators and advanced detectors, also play an invaluable role in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine.April 5, 2012Molecular ImagingMini PET probe explores cancer biomarkersA project led by the European Center for Research in Medical Imaging is developing a miniature PET/ultrasound probe to study new biomarkers for pancreatic and prostate cancer. Its aim is to create a bimodal imaging probe that combines a miniaturized time-of-flight PET detector head with an ultrasonic endoscope.March 29, 2012Molecular ImagingSPECT's preclinical advances can lead to benefits for humansHigh-resolution SPECT is playing an invaluable role in small-animal imaging, a tool for the development of new therapeutic strategies for human medicine. The extremely high-resolution, artifact-free images produced by this modality are making it feasible to track the response of pharmaceuticals in animal models of cancer and diabetes.January 10, 2012Clinical NewsFunctional ultrasound imaging tracks brain activityResearchers at the Institut National de la Santé et de la Rechereche Médicale in Paris are conducting research on functional ultrasound, an ultrasensitive imaging technique that can visualize whole-brain microvasculature dynamics with high spatiotemporal resolution.
