A PET scan (positron emission tomography) that measures uptake of sugar in the brain significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosing a type of dementia often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease, a study led by a University of Utah dementia expert has found. The scan, FDG-PET, helped six doctors from three national Alzheimer's disease centers correctly

to have a fairly high rate of false positive tests, which can lead to unnecessary breast biopsies.
Positron emmission mammography (PEM) is a relatively new breast cancer.... Since breast cancer cells have a high metabolic activity, they take up this tracer in higher amounts than surrounding cells and can then be easily visualized with a positron

X-ray tomography is used to examine architecture of hybrid cells that can be present in our body. X-ray tomography has involved many other branches of science such as chemical and biology. This technology is a primary research area to develop soft-X-ray tomography. X-ray tomography has many advantages over other imaging techniques, which will give

At Superstition Springs Endodontics (SSE), we have recently integrated Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) into our practice of endodontics . In my opinion, CBCT... are a few basic principles about CBCT that might be helpful.
Traditional Computed Tomography (CT or CAT Scan), uses a linear detector and a fan shaped X-ray beam (diagram on left

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a powerful new tool for monitoring both degenerative and malignant activities occurring deep within the brain -- by looking into the eyes. The OCT scanner uses two light beams (diodes or pulse lasers) to generate a 3d image of the depth of the retinas. This information tells medical specialists many
