A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent being tested by researchers at Case Western Reserve University not only pinpoints breast cancers at early stages but differentiates between ...

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging tool that bridges the traditional depth limits of ballistic optical imaging and the resolution limits of diffuse optical imaging. Using the acoustic waves ...

A new magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent being tested by researchers not only pinpoints breast cancers at early stages but differentiates between aggressive and slow-growing types. A new ...

In a possible first, researchers at Stanford (Calif.) Medicine found a non-invasive imaging method to visualize senescent cells. “As we age, we accumulate senescent cells. These are like ‘zombie cells ...

MRI contrast agents, which are typically gadolinium-based, are used to enhance visualization of abnormal structures or lesions and to aid differentiation between healthy and pathological tissue. This ...

Experiments in dogs, rabbits and monkeys show the efficacy and biocompatibility of a new MRI/MRA contrast agent in detecting stroke. This T1 MRI contrast agent based on ultrasmall iron oxide ...

Scientists at the Institute of Chemistry have developed a new type of contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—bovine serum albumin nanoparticles doped with manganese (II) ions. The results ...

One of the most widely used drugs in the world isn't really a drug, at least not in the usual sense. It's more like a dye. Physicians call this drug "contrast," shorthand for contrast agent. Contrast ...
