MRI-Guided Magnetic Seeds Heat and Destroy Tumors
Scientists at University College London have developed a highly targeted anti-tumor treatment. The approach involves guiding ferromagnetic thermoseeds to the site of a tumor using the magnetic fields generated by an MRI scanner. The magnetic seeds can then destroy the tumor through localized heating that is induced by an MR-compatible thermoablative device. The technique is called “minimally invasive image-guided ablation” or MINIMA, and the researchers hope that it could provide an effective treatment option in brain and prostate cancers.
Targeting cancer is a tricky business, but these researchers have dev...

Low-Field MRI for New Imaging Possibilities, Fewer X-rays
Researchers at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center are using a new low-field MRI system that may expand the capabilities of MRI for patients with implanted devices, patients who require lung imaging, and obese patients. The system, which was developed in a collaboration between Siemens and Ohio State, has a magnetic field strength of 0.55 Tesla, which is low when compared with the 1.5 or 3.0 Tesla systems that are typically used. The low field strength increases the potential of the system for lung imaging, which could help patients to avoid the radiation associated with repeated X-rays, and for imaging in situ...

Wearable Helmet for Non-Invasive Optical Brain Imaging
Kernel, a medtech company based in California, has developed the Kernel Flow, a wearable helmet that can perform time domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-fNIRS) imaging of the brain. The system has a smaller footprint, is less expensive and less complex than benchtop TD-fNIRS systems, but has demonstrated similar imaging performance. The imaging modality measures changes in blood oxygenation levels in specific brain regions to infer information about brain activity. This new wearable technology could make this imaging modality more accessible and user friendly.
Technological advances and miniaturization...

Would your radiologist make this diagnosis, or should you record an ECG in trauma?
A very young man had severe blunt trauma with severe head injury.As part of his evaluation, he had a " pan-scan " which of course includes a chest abdomen pelvis CT.Here is one slice of his chest:What do you see?Let ' s look at a closer view, and also made easier to see using Spectral CT:And one more:The very dark area at the septum and the apex of both ventricles is transmural ischemia. There is no contrast making it into this area which should be perfused by the LAD.Here is a color image of the same:Notice the extremely dark area at the apex and apical part of the septum.The radiologist was Dr. Gopal Punjabi, who i...

The Top 5 Medical Innovations To Look Out For In 2022
As they say, new year, new beginnings; and this also applies to the field of digital health! With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, the crisis has led to the adoption of certain trends in response to the challenges it raised. In general, this tends to bring the point of care to wherever the patient is. As more investment and research focus are diverted towards those relevant fields, this will help generate more innovations from those areas.
Even if they might not become the point of focus in 2022, these “predictions” usually follow through with time. For instance, for 2020 we forecasted a new line of Googl...

Inequity contributes to burnout among new academic physicians
I was still a resident in May 2013. My new long-distance girlfriend gave me directions to take the train from the airport to the opposite side of her massive metroplex. As is likely common for a hayseed like me, I got lost finding the correct rail station and instead walked through the city’s large academicRead more …Inequity contributes to burnout among new academic physicians originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Soft X-Ray Tomography for Quick 3D Imaging of Cell Organelles
Researchers at Heidelberg University in Germany used an imaging technique called soft X-ray tomography to obtain highly detailed 3D images of the interior of cells, including changes that occur when the cell is infected with SARS-CoV-2. The approach can provide a high-resolution 3D image in minutes, which is much faster than other microscopy techniques that achieve a similar level of detail.
Imaging technology is constantly improving, and our corresponding understanding of the inner workings of our cells is increasing. From identifying what happens when SARS-CoV-2 enters a cell to developing new treatments for cancer, b...
