'''A sophisticated X-ray machine co-developed by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory scientists began providing its inaugural batch of high-resolution images of nuclear weapons' innards this month. The National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees ...'

'''The plan for broad use of X-ray body scanners to detect bombs or weapons under airline passengers' clothes has rekindled a debate about the safety of delivering small doses of radiation to millions of people - a process some experts say is certain to ...'

'''Medical studies are soon to start with the MARS scanner, a revolutionary CT scanner developed by the University of Canterbury[1], New Zealand. The scanner, which incorporates technology developed at the world's leading particle physics research centre, ...'

'''Devices that simultaneously take a PET scan and a CT scan can eliminate unnecessary surgery for lung cancer, although they do little to save lives, researchers in Denmark reported on Wednesday. 'Our study is the first to test PET-CT in a randomized ...'

'''During May and June 2009, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Colorado at Boulder will use high-tech scanners ? analogous to those used in medical ...'

'''ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2008) ? New research has found that the availability of a portable eight-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner in an emergency room can significantly increase the number of stroke victims who receive a potentially life-saving ...'

'''What kind of scanner should you use to plan complex implants? In a shoot-out between multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and small-field cone-beam CT (CBCT), both imaging modalities lived to see another ...'

'''In spiral computed tomography (CT), dose is always inversely proportional to pitch. However, the relationship between noise and pitch (and hence noise and dose) depends on the scanner type (single vs multi detector row) and reconstruction mode ...'

'''Many Computed Tomography (CT) exams necessitate the use of intravenous injection of contrast media, to make specific organs, blood vessels or other tissue types stand out from surrounding structures. Until the early 1990’s, CT scanners employed long ...'

'''In a prospective study published in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, researchers at Boca Raton Regional Hospital (Boca Raton, FL) showed that Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and breast MRI had comparably high ability ...'
