A 'nano' cancer monitor implant: It is very difficult for doctors to measure the evolution of tumors and if chemotherapy is actually working on cancer patients. This is why MIT researchers have developed a minuscule device that can be implanted directly into a tumor and containing nanoparticles designed to test for different substances associated with...; Tags: Engineering &, Innovation, Health &, Medicine, Nanotechnology, nanoparticle, MRI; Blog posts 2006-12-20
It takes more brainpower to lie--go figure: Researchers using MRI brain scans found that liars use areas in the brain that are not involved in telling the truth. Basically, the research showed that your brain has to work harder to lie. While that revelation is not at all startling, MRIs could be used in major cases to get at the truth, joining DNA testing...; Tags: MRI; Blog posts 2004-11-29

Magnetic resonance imaging in color?: Magnetic resonance imaging MRI is a technology widely used in medical applications. But so far, all the images of what is inside our bodies produced by MRI are just black and white. Now, a U.S. research team is developing injectable micromagnets which could bring color to MRI pictures. The researchers...; Tags: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Spacer Element, Device Concept, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-06-23
Supercomputer performs prostate surgery: A supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center TACC recently piloted a laser to perform prostate surgery on a dog. The operation was done in Houston without the intervention of a human surgeon while the Lonestar supercomputer, a Dell Linux Cluster with 5,840 processors, was in Austin. According to TACC,...; Tags: Treatment, Houston, Supercomputer, Austin, Surgery, Laser, Lonestar, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-06-02
Ready for a rebate on that X-Ray?: It always surprises me how little merchandising goes on in the medical space. It surprises Herb Singh left too.
