Telemedicine may increase patients’ satisfaction with their medical care

Cardiovascular disease pervades Appalachia, yet many Appalachians live far from any heart and vascular specialist. Follow-up doctor’s visits in the weeks after cardiovascular surgery can involve hours-long drives down narrow, winding roads. A recent study led by Albeir Mousa, a professor in the West Virginia University School of Medicine, suggests telemedicine may improve these patients’ […]

New method helps make orthotopic brain-tumour imaging clearer and faster

Nowadays, tumours inside the complex central nervous system remain one of the most challenging cancers to diagnose. Different from conventional brain-imaging techniques, nearinfrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging demonstrates particular merits including being non-hazardous, offering fast feedback, and having higher sensitivity. A research team led by Prof. ZHENG Hairong from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) […]

Novel technique may significantly reduce breast biopsies

An innovative technique that uses mammography to determine the biological tissue composition of a tumour could help reduce unnecessary breast biopsies, according to a new study.Mammography has been effective at reducing deaths from breast cancer by detecting cancers in their earliest, most treatable stages. However, many women are called back for additional diagnostic imaging and, […]
