Diamond Sensor for Smaller, Portable MEG Scanners
Researchers at RMIT University in Australia have developed a diamond sensor that can measure magnetic fields up to 10 times more sensitively than current sensors. The breakthrough could lead to a new generation of magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanners that are small and portable, and can function at room temperature. The researchers envisage that the new scanners could even work as a helmet that a patient could place over their head, making it useful in detecting concussions at the point of care or for routine monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. The new sensor does not lose any of the light generated by defects in th...

AI Adoption in Healthcare Requires Better Approaches to Patient Data
The following is a guest article by Vanessa Braunstein, Healthcare Product Marketing Lead at NVIDIA.
Building great AI models in healthcare and life sciences requires lots of data that is diverse, well-labeled, and spans across different patient types.
However, as AI gains traction, there are still a number of bottlenecks that slow down the process of developing robust AI models such as patient privacy, access to data, and lack of clinical expertise to annotate data for training.
In order to overcome these barriers, data scientists and developers have developed new solutions such as federated learning paradigms, AI models ...

Magnetic Steering System for Guidewires
Percutaneous coronary intervention is an incredibly useful technique to minimally invasively investigate and treat cardiac issues, such as blockages in the coronary arteries, but it requires a significant amount of skill to perform safely and effectively. Manipulating a guidewire through the tortuous vasculature is not for the faint hearted, with the possibility of perforating a vessel always near. Moreover, as the procedure is frequently undertaken at the bedside, it is impossible for the clinician to avoid X-ray exposure.
Now researchers at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed a ...
