CT in the Operating Room Allows More Accurate Removal of Small Lung Tumors

A new technique that employs computed tomography imaging in the operating room should allow surgeons to effectively delineate and remove small, sub-centimeter lung nodules, leaving as much healthy tissue as possible.  More...

Image: Ultrasound imaging used to identify breast cancer in underarm lymph nodes in obese women has generated an unexpected finding: Fat did not obscure the images, and ultrasound imaging showing no suspicious lymph nodes actually was shown to be more accurate in overweight and obese patients than in women with a normal body mass index (Photo courtesy of the Mayo Clinic).

Lymph Node Ultrasound Imaging Most Effective for Obese Breast Cancer Patients

New research into whether ultrasound imaging used to identify breast cancer in underarm lymph nodes is less effective in obese women, has generated an unexpected finding.  More...

Breath Analysis Provides Same Sensitivity, Twice the Specificity of PET Imaging Identifying Early Lung Cancer

Researchers are using breath analysis to detect the presence of lung cancer. Earlier research indicates that this promising noninvasive application offers the same sensitivity of PET scanning, and has nearly twice the specificity of PET for distinguishing patients with benign lung disease from those with early stage cancer.   More...

Neuroscientists Use MRI Sensors to Map Neural Activity

Investigators have devised a new technique that allows them to track neural communication in the brain over time, using magnetic resonance imaging combined with a specialized molecular sensor.   More...
