PerkinElmer, a company providing health sciences and photonics solutions, announced the expansion of its Santa Clara, California, digital x-ray detector fabrication facility.
Biolase Technology Inc. took the ouch out of dentistry, and now it hopes to put a smile on the face of its investors.
A laser welding technique could offer surgeons an alternative to suturing for closing corneal wounds after phacoemulsification or extracapsular cataract extraction, according to a study by researchers in Italy. However, the laser-assisted technique may affect postoperative astigmatism, the study authors noted.
A new NASA space telescope will give scientists a peek at some of the most energetic objects and events in the universe. The new Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope to be launched next spring doesn't see visible light like our eyes, but gamma rays, the most energetic photons in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Doctors at University Hospital have a new way to look inside the body using a special camera that's helping diagnose patients faster and more accurately. In the Endoscopy Center at the hospital, gastroenterologists use special tools to reach deep inside the body.
just as the clarity of high definition television has transformed the entertainment world, Siemens Medical Solutionsis redefining the quality of molecular imaging with the introduction of high definition positron emission tomography.
In what could prove to be a turning point in diagnosis and therapy for millions of patients suffering from neurological diseases, stroke and cancer, Siemens Medical Solutions showed results of a prototype for the world¡¦s first fully-functioning imaging system capable of performing simultaneously Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The first in-vivo human brain simultaneous MR-PET images were acquired in the Siemens facilities in USA. Testing of this new prototype MR-PET will start before the end of 2007.
Siemens announces the latest innovation in electrophysiology (EP) solutions with the introduction of syngo® DynaCT Cardiac, which enables 3D imaging comparable to computed tomography (CT) in the EP lab during procedures. Building upon Siemens’ breakthrough syngo DynaCT technology, this solution enhances diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities by enabling electrophysiologists for the first time to visualize the left atrium in 3D during complex cardiac procedures, virtually eliminating the need for time-consuming pre-procedural CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. syngo DynaCT Cardiac will be featured in the Siemens booth (# 129) at the 28th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Heart Rhythm Society from May 9 through May 12 in Denver.
The old adage says “a picture is worth 1,000 words,” but that value is undoubtedly higher in preclinical research where high-resolution images can validate years of work. Siemens Medical Solutions, Molecular Imaging division, manufacturer of the Inveon™ preclinical imaging system, continues to lead the preclinical imaging market, through a strong investment in its research partners and through the demand for the versatile and upgradeable Inveon platform.
Cancer-sensing devices built as cheaply and efficiently as wristwatches - using many of the same operating principles - could change the way clinicians detect, treat and monitor cancer in patients. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an acoustic sensor that can report the presence of small amounts of mesothelin, a molecule associated with a number of cancers including mesothelioma, as they attach to the sensor's surface.
