'ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2008) — New ultrasound technology will make it possible for doctors to discover cancer tumors far earlier than before. A method that transmits new and more advanced ultrasound signals is being tested in Trondheim. The chances of ...'

'ScienceDaily (Feb. 23, 2008) — New techniques for detecting emboli (harmful blood clots/air bubbles in arteries) developed at the University of Leicester have played a major role in dramatically reducing stroke rates after carotid endarterectomy. This is ...'

'New technology has significantly reduced the length of the incision needed to remove eye cataracts. Using the Stellaris machine surgeons need only to make two 1.8mm cuts on either side of the eye. Usually a cut of up to 2.7mm is needed. Experts say a ...'

'Technology invented by scientists from The Johns Hopkins University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev can make three-dimensional imaging quicker, easier, less expensive and more accurate, the researchers said. This new technology, dubbed FINCH, ...'

'Complex fibroadenomas have a low incidence of malignancy, so women with this condition can be more conservatively treated and avoid surgical biopsy, according to a new study by a team of researchers from the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in ...'

'ScienceDaily (Feb. 8, 2008) — Using two different endoscopes together is better than using one to stage lung cancer, and is also much more precise and less invasive than the surgical method now most commonly used, researchers at Mayo Clinic in ...'

'An evaluation of several endoscopic biopsy methods suggests that a “minimally invasive” approach may accurately determine the stage of suspected lung cancer, according to a study in the February 6 issue of JAMA. Lung cancer is the most common ...'

'Two new studies examine non-invasive ways to determine liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. An enhanced version of the Original European Liver Fibrosis panel was found to have good diagnostic accuracy for fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver ...'
