A new type of "triggered imaging" technology enables University of Alabama at Birmingham physicians to better target tumors during radiosurgery and lessens the risk of injury to surrounding lung tissue. Radiosurgery is a focused, highly targeted, high dose of radiation treatment typically taking...
An estimated 300,000 people in North America are afflicted with dystonia, a disorder characterized by a progressive loss of motor control. Patients with generalized dystonia grapple with involuntary muscle spasms that lead to uncontrolled twisting and turning in awkward, sometimes painful...
Patients treated by physicians who billed for both technical (practice/equipment) and professional (supervision/ interpretation) components of nuclear and echocardiographic stress imaging tests were more likely to undergo such tests after coronary revascularization compared with patients of...
A new type of diagnostic imaging - which can better differentiate benign lung lesions from those which are cancerous - could be used to prevent unnecessary surgery by enabling more accurate diagnosis of the disease. A study by Belgian researchers, which was presented at the European Respiratory...
Breast imaging reports generated using an automatic speech recognition system are nearly six times more likely to contain major errors than those generated with conventional dictation transcription, a new study in Canada shows...

Imagine tapping into the mind of a coma patient, or watching one's own dream on YouTube. With a cutting-edge blend of brain imaging and computer simulation, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are bringing these futuristic scenarios within reach. Using functional Magnetic...
Making use of a new "super resolution" microscope that provides sharp images at extremely small scales, scientists have achieved unprecedented views of the immune system in action. The new tool, a stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscope, shows how granules from natural killer cells pass...
Twenty years after the publication of the first human study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)* - a technique to measure activity in the brain through the flow of blood - the Wellcome Trust has published a report providing reflections on the field of human functional brain...
Researchers have developed a new type of imaging technology to diagnose cardiovascular disease and other disorders by measuring ultrasound signals from molecules exposed to a fast-pulsing laser. The new method could be used to take precise three-dimensional images of plaques lining arteries...
Dilon Diagnostics will introduce the latest advancement in molecular breast imaging (MBI) this week at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, with the premiere of its FDA-cleared Dilon 6800® Acella Gamma Camera system. To complement the already widely successful...
The Access to Medical Imaging Coalition (AMIC), together with 19 patient advocacy organizations, today urged the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to strengthen the composition of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and its process for issuing recommendations. "We...
Each year, more than two million critically ill patients are transferred from one hospital emergency department (ED) to another for appropriate care. With the ability to successfully import data from a CD-ROM containing the patient's diagnostic medical images, hospitals may be able to...
so in my PC i have the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders,
i don't know how to make a working DVD image that my computer will detect as a playable virtual DVD
any suggestions (i use power ISO v3.8 )
Rcadia Medical Imaging and Siemens Healthcare have entered into an agreement for Siemens to distribute Rcadia's COR Analyzer® System. The COR Analyzer's ability to identify stenotic lesions in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (cCTA) studies in combination with Siemens' Syngo®.via(1) CT...
Demonstrating unmatched leadership in molecular imaging, Siemens Healthcare presents its leading portfolio in hybrid imaging solutions with molecular CT and molecular MR at the 96th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), November 28 to...
Sophisticated techniques that permit the visualization of dynamic processes in cells, tissues, and organ systems at extraordinary levels of resolution have become tremendously valuable in biological research. However, finding the right imaging method and optimizing it for data collection can be...
