The medical world changes rapidly and constantly and the way that medication is delivered to patients’ is one of those ways. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in Missouri have developed a wireless device that is the width of a human hair. This device, they say, can be implanted [...]
Optics techniques have been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois that allow ophthalmologists to see the individual cells in the eye ball at the back of a patient’s eye. The benefit of this adaptive optics technique gives the doctor a detailed view of the eye’s blood vessels, cells [...]
Researchers, internationally, convened to study a microscopy technique on zebrafish larvae as a way to understand how wound healing leads to instances of skin cancer. The live images showed that the protective inflammatory cells of the body’s immune system (the neutrophils) can be diverted from a wound to other nearby [...]
Discovering cancer cells and cancerous tissues as soon as medically possibly bodes best for the patient to receive a diagnosis and treatment that brings with it the best possible outcome. Using “ultrafast nonlinear microscopy” surgeons can identify and remove the tumor margins in real time, preventing the need for the [...]
As technology continues to move forward and advance, scanning vision systems are becoming more accessible to manufacturers. Whether you’re operating in the display industry or are involved in semiconductor manufacturing or anything in between, scanning vision technology can be found along the production lines. Manufacturers find that any item that [...]
A compact, relatively low cost imaging device has been developed by researchers at the Department of Neurosurgery (Los Angeles, CA) that has the ability to distinguish malignant brain tumors from normal, healthy tissue. The new technology is a small camera and a targeted imaging agent that has been developed based [...]
While we are not at the stage of living like the “Jetsons” there are certainly strides being made on an almost weekly basis to move more robotic technologies into the home and it stands to reason that it would be moving into the medical field and operating rooms as well. [...]
Undergoing diagnostic testing and eventual surgery to remove cancerous tissue and tumors is a traumatic event for any patient. This trauma is amplified when, following the removal of the tumor, it grows back. To reduce the frequency of this, researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have developed a technology called [...]
The continued improvements in machine vision scanning technologies likely means that the technology will be utilized in more arenas than it currently is. The technology behind these machine vision systems is making them more accessible, foolproof to operate and robust. Whether you’re involved in the automotive industry or in semiconductor [...]
Machine vision systems have long been the staple of technology in manufacturing settings. Their ability to speed up production lines and to better notice flaws in manufactured items, makes them an invaluable piece of equipment. Did you know, though that machine vision systems are also being used in self-driving cars? [...]
