INSIDER: Medical
A new fundus camera small enough to fit on a smartphone may enable people to take a picture of their own eye to send to a doctor for diagnosis. The camera achieves 1000 images per...
Technology Leaders: Motion Control
CT scanners have far greater accuracy than x-ray technology but place more demands on patients. Getting the high precision, three-dimensional images necessary for accurate diagnosis...
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Researchers have developed an endoscope as thin as a human hair that can image the activity of neurons in the brains of living mice. Because it is so thin, the endoscope can reach...
INSIDER: Imaging
Researchers have designed the first neurosurgical robotic system capable of performing bilateral stereotactic neurosurgery inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The MRI-guided...
INSIDER: Imaging
Early detection has been shown to increase breast cancer survival rates, but many women avoid having their mammograms taken as often as they should because of the discomfort involved....
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
A new way of taking images in the mid-infrared part of the spectrum, developed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere, could enable a wide variety of applications, including thermal imaging, biomedical...
