New imaging technique holds promise to allow cancer surgeons to save more of the kidney

A new way to provide clear images of cancerous tumors in the kidney during surgery promises to help physicians preserve as much kidney function as possible while still removing all the malignant tissue -- a significant advance as doctors discover that saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible is crucial for the future health of cancer patients.

   11-09-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Argonne National Laboratory scientists in collaboration with Xradia have created a new X-ray microscope technique capable of observing molecular-scale features, measuring less than a nanometer in height. Combining x-ray reflection together with high resolution x-ray microscopy, scientists can now study interactions at the nanometer-scale which often can exhibit different properties. Improving our understanding of interactions at the nanoscale holds promise to help us cure the sick, protect our environment and make us more secure.
