New technology for measuring brain blood flow with light

Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a new technique for measuring blood flow in the human brain, which could be used in patients with stroke or traumatic brain injury, for example. The new technique, based on conventional digital camera technology, could be significantly cheaper and more robust than prior methods. “Our […]

Diagnosing breast cancer using red light

In 2017, an estimated 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed in women and 2,470 cases were diagnosed in men. Many of these diagnoses are made using X-ray mammography. Although standard and widely used, X-ray imaging for breast cancer suffers from both low sensitivity (50-75%) and the use of ionizing radiation that cannot […]

Brachytherapy for cervical cancer a net loss for hospitals, study finds

The evidence is clear: Cervical cancer is best treated with brachytherapy, a form of radiation therapy. Yet the use of this potentially lifesaving treatment has been declining, and a new study from the University of Virginia School of Medicine may explain why.UVA researchers have determined that offering brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer ends up […]

Study finds new combined risk score more effectively predicts stroke risk in patients who have atrial fibrillation

The composite stroke decision tool studied by researchers from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City combines the widely used CHA2DS2-VASc with the Intermountain Risk Scores (IMRS) to derive and validate new stroke prediction scores. The study shows the new model, IMRS-VASc, was significantly more effective in predicting stroke risk and will […]
