''A study based on computer modeling of radiation risk suggests that widespread screening for the buildup of calcium in the arteries using computed tomography scans would lead to an estimated 42 additional radiation-induced cancer cases per 100,000 men ...'

''The Saskatchewan provincial government alongside the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) have come together to establish a CA$500 million, 10 megawatts research nuclear reactor to produce medical isotopes. In 1949 - cobalt-60 treatment was tried for the ...'

''Using cardiac CT scans on low risk chest pain patients can reduce costs and shorten the length of hospital stays, researchers in Seattle said. A cardiac CT, or computed tomography, is much less expensive and time consuming than the traditional ...'

''The new StarBurst® XLi-Enhanced Semi-Flex probe from AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO) is the first radiofrequency ablation (RFA) device specifically designed to deliver a 7cm ablation of a tumor in a single placement during Computed Tomography-aided ...'

''Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated a new, highly detailed x-ray imaging technique that could be developed into a method for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The technique has ...'

''Berkeley Lab scientists stunned the world in 2006 when they proved they could accelerate electrons to very high energies (1 GeV, or a billion electron volts) in a distance of centimeters rather than hundreds of meters. Using the same concepts, those ...'

''The gold standard treatment for early-stage non small-cell lung cancer is surgical resection. Yet operative risk is prohibitive for many patients with this condition. Over half of patients who are given a diagnosis of lung cancer are 70 years of age or ...'

''Three-dimensional, real-time X-ray images of patients could be closer to reality because of research recently completed by scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a pair of Russian institutes. In a paper to be published in an upcoming ...'

''So-called virtual colonoscopies -- done using souped-up x-rays -- detect tumors and precancerous lesions almost as well as standard colonoscopies using a camera threaded through the colon, Italian researchers reported on Tuesday. The virtual ...'

''A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. Although ...'
