Three-Dimensional CT and Pet Acquisition
This particular snippet comes from physorg.com.
"Stanford University researchers demonstrated for the first time the ability to create 3-D positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images for "fly-through" and "fly-around viewing" of cancer in the lungs and colon, according to a study in the July issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine."

Embryo 3-D Visualisation
The strand of methods which pertain to visualisation can help clinicians tremendously. A story that was published yesterday involves work on visualisation of the human embryo.
"Utah and Texas researchers combined miniature medical CT scans with high-tech computer methods to produce detailed three-dimensional images of mouse embryos – an efficient new method to test the safety of medicines and learn how mutant genes cause birth defects or cancer."

Biological Imaging Becomes a Game
Who said that research can never be turned into a game? This appears to be the approach that one professor has taken: solving a complex and dull problem through an analogy. Perhaps this provides a mental simplification too.
"Scientists are like you and me: they sometimes need to relax. This is why Veit Elser, professor at Cornell University, has applied an algorithm developed for X-ray diffraction microscopy to solve Sudoku puzzles. The difference-map algorithm, which he discovered with other chemists and physicists, will be primarily used for biological imaging..."

Total Imaging Matrix
This Siemens technology which has revolutionised body scans is not brand new. And yet, it remains state-of-the-art among its rapidly-developing domain. It was described in a press release format earlier this morning.
New Delhi, February 1, 2006 Siemens Medical Solutions (Med) has brought a new era in Magnetic Resonance Tomography, body scanning known as Total Imaging Matrix (TIM) that allows for whole-body imaging in a single session.
