Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging. Their approach, called SPECTRA, uses tiny nanoprobes that light up when they attach to aggressive cancer ...

NanoBRIGHT employs vibrational fiber photometry as a low-invasive method for label-free monitoring of the biomolecular content of arbitrarily deep regions of the mouse brain, viewed in vivo through ...

Proton hydrogen 1 MR spectroscopy measures the levels of choline compounds in a lesion and identifies an active tumor. In the present study, MR spectroscopy findings were defined as positive if ...

The new tool— combining Raman spectroscopy and machine learning—introduces the Ramanome-based Metastasis Index (RMI), offering an innovative means of diagnosing and managing cancer.

They are usually sclerotic but occasionally may be lytic or mixed, particularly in high-grade tumors. CT can be used to identify bony metastases but its sensitivity is lower than bone scan and MRI ...

MR spectroscopy compared with DW-MRI and DCE-MRI at 3-tesla for the noninvasive prediction of short-term radiation response for patients with localized prostate cancer.

Monitoring molecular changes in the brain caused by cancer and other neurological pathologies in a non-invasive way is one of the major challenges in biomedical research. A new experimental ...

In the five patients with discordent results, PET scan alone was positive in three patients (metastatic lung cancer with brain metastasis-2, radiation necrosis-1). In the other two patients with ...

The team found that, unlike CT or MRI scans that can indicate the presence of a tumor but not the specific molecular signatures that can alert physicians to current or impending metastasis, SPECTRA ...
