New ‘chemically-sensitive MRI scan’ may bypass some invasive diagnostic tests in next decade
Research published in the academic journal, Chemical Communications, reveals that this new compound could be used in a ‘chemically-sensitive MRI scan’ to help…
Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
Engineers at the University of Bath have developed a diagnostic test which measures the frequency of sound produced when the femur bone in the leg is vibrated.The new method is much more sensitive than the traditional method of using x-rays to detect the loosening of implants, and so can diagnose much smaller gaps around the implanted joint….
New imaging technique could promote early detection of multiple sclerosis
Myelin is the fatty sheath coating the axons, or nerve cells, that insulate and aid in efficient nerve fiber conduction. In diseases such as multiple…
For First Time, Cochlear Implant Restores Hearing To Patient With Rare Genetic Disorder
The advance was possible, researchers say, because their years of research into the disease showed that these tumors do not affect the cochlear nerve necessary…
