For Precise Tasks by Surgeons
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[09/03/2010] Engineers developed a computer-controlled, motorized hand and arm support that will, according to the inventors, let doctors precisely control scalpels and tools over a wider area than otherwise possible, and with less fatigue. For Precise Tasks by Surgeons - read more
How 'Random' Lasers Work
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[19/02/2010] A decade after their discovery, researchers have found that so-called random lasers occur because of natural, mirror-like cavities in the polymers. They say such lasers may prove useful for diagnosing cancer. How 'Random' Lasers Work - read more
Miniature Ultrasound Device Tested

[18/02/2010] It looks more like an iPod than a medical tool. But the latest miniature ultrasound device might one day introduce a new level of home therapy for arthritis, injury and other painful ailments. Miniature Ultrasound Device Tested - read more
Imaging Earliest Signs of Alzheimer’s
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[10/02/2010] Through the use of brain-imaging techniques, researchers have been able to predict a brain's progression to Alzheimer's by measuring subtle changes in brain structure over time long before symptoms can be seen. Imaging Earliest Signs of Alzheimer’s - read more

[03/02/2010] A docking algorithm allows successful design of new inhibitors for an anti-cancer target. New Computational Tool for Treatment - read more
New Technique Against Cancer
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[27/01/2010] A new technique to catch cancer early has taken an important step forward thanks to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). NPL's 'phantoms' will ensure an new screening technique can be relied upon by hospitals to identify early signs of cancer. New Technique Against Cancer - read more
Neuron Connections Seen in 3D

[19/01/2010] Researchers have developed an x-ray free technique to treat a common heart disorder called atrial fibrillation – this might eliminate radiation exposure to patients and their medical providers. New Heart Procedure Eliminates Exposure - read more
Brain Imaging May Help Diagnose
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[15/01/2010] Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism. Brain Imaging May Help Diagnose - read more
A Virtual Liver, a Better Chance of Life
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[13/01/2010] Systems to construct 3D images of individual patients' livers, with their tumours or other pathologies, from MRI or CT-scans, have been developed, according to researchers. A Virtual Liver, a Better Chance of Life - read more
