New MRI technique quickly builds 3-D images of knees
A faster magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data-acquisition technique will cut the time many patients spend in a cramped magnetic resonance scanner, yet deliver more precise 3-D images of their bodies. Developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the faster technique will enable clinics to image more patients - particularly the burgeoning group of older adults with osteoarthritis-rela...Everything in its place: Researchers identify brain cells used to categorize images
Socks in the sock drawer, shirts in the shirt drawer, the time-honored lessons of helping organize one's clothes learned in youth. But what parts of the brain are used to encode such categories as socks, shirts or any other item, and how does such learning take place? New research from Harvard Medical School (HMS) investigators has identified an area of the brain where such memories are...With record resolution and sensitivity, tool images how life organizes in a cell membrane
What's the difference between a lifeless sack of chemicals and a living cell? It's all in the way they're organized, according to Stanford biophysical chemist Steven Boxer. With colleagues at Stanford, the University of California-Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he has developed a way to image cell membranes with unprecedented resolution-on the order of 100 nanometers, a scale l...Novel computed imaging technique uses blurry images to enhance view
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel computational image-forming technique for optical microscopy that can produce crisp, three-dimensional images from blurry, out-of-focus data. Called Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy, ISAM can do for optical microscopy what magnetic resonance imaging did for nuclear magnetic resonance, and what...Ultrasound upgrade produces images that work like 3-D movies
Parents-to-be might soon don 3-D glasses in the ultrasound lab to see their developing fetuses in the womb "in living 3-D, just like at the IMAX movies," according to researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. The same Duke team that first developed real-time, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging says it has now modified the commercial version of the scanner to produce a...Thermal paper, 4 rolls (800 images) from UVP

WAUWATOSA, Wis. Since the late 1970s, the problem of storing film from medical images such as CT scans and ultrasounds has proved an elusive challenge for the medical industry. With some medical studies involving 2,000 pictures per procedure, old methods of storing, sharing and archiving medical images on film are fast becoming outdated as the use of digital medical...Parents Encourage Stereotype Body Images
Parents in the US are encouraging stereotype body images among their children, according to researchers belonging to the Florida State University. Even three year olds are not spared by their parents, wherein boys are encouraged to eat well and grow physically,// while girls are being taught how to stay slim. Most mothers were of the opinion that their daughters ate well while their sons did not,...Sexy Images and Lingerie Challenge A Man’s Decision Making Skill
Catching sight of a pretty woman is enough to challenge a man’s decision-making skills, reveals a new research conducted by Belgian researchers. // Men shown images of lingerie or sexy women before attempting to play a financial game more likely to accept unfair offers. Furthermore, this effect was more pronounced when men had high testosterone levels. This study for the first time hi...Coronal Multiplanar Reformatted Images to Replace the Conventional Ones
The researchers at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA said that coronal multiplanar reformatted images are very efficient in the evaluation of MDCT of the GI tract.// It has an increased speed and its accuracy of diagnosis is incomparable. For the study, the researchers reviewed the MDCTs of 50 patients referred for GI tract imaging. The researchers found that the averag...Do Food Images Encourage Binge Eating and Obesity ?
According to a recent study Dr John Beaver found that among certain people the brain is particularly sensitive to appetizing food thereby encouraging them to overeat. // This is the main reason why some people cannot keep their hands of the food. The study published the results in the Journal of Neuroscience. The researchers from the Medical Research Council's Cognition and Brain Scienc...Sensor Images Show Soaring Temperature and Pollution Levels in UK
Summer temperatures have been on an all time high in the United Kingdom, and space sensors have also been keeping tabs on the rising temperature and pollution levels. //According to the Met office reports, during the period from 15th to 19th July, the temperatures were a record high in UK along with nitrogen dioxide pollution, which is known to trigger a host of respiratory problems....
