Flexible coils for magnetic resonance imaging are being designed to search for breast cancer faster and with less disadvantages. In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a prototype is now being developed in Vienna. Continue reading “New diagnostic technique improves breast cancer screening”
In a project funded by the FWF, a research group from Innsbruck investigated how cancer cells in the large intestine can be made to glow in order to facilitate early detection. Continue reading “Luminescent nanoparticles help with early cancer detection”
With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, researchers from Vienna have developed methods to improve functional MRI with the new generation of highly sensitive 7 Tesla scanners. These devices can create precise maps of the brain before surgery to help surgeons avoid damaging vital areas. Continue reading “7T scanner provides precise 3D maps of brain activity”
