Images Develop Clinical Applications For New DESI Technology

10-09-2006 · ScienceDaily

Purdue University researchers have created the first two-dimensional images of biological samples using a new mass spectrometry technique that furthers the technology's potential applications for the detection of diseases such as cancer. The technology measures characteristic chemical markers that distinguish diseased from nondiseased regions of tissue.

Breaking the medical image communication barrier
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Using a new grid computing system, radiologists and pediatric oncologists at 40 hospitals all over North America are now quickly and securely exchanging high-resolution medical images. One hoped-for result will be that the doctors of young cancer patients will know more quickly whose treatment is not working and be able to change course. Others include making second opinions from specialists anywhere easily available, and quicker, closer monitoring of ongoing clinical research and diagnostic practice.

Brain imaging reveals breakdown of normal emotional processing
08-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Brain imaging has revealed a breakdown in normal patterns of emotional processing that impairs the ability of people with clinical depression to suppress negative emotional states. Efforts by depressed patients to suppress their feelings when viewing emotionally negative images enhanced activity in several brain areas, including the amygdala, known to play a role in generating emotion, according to a report in the Aug. 15 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.
