Study Suggests Language Delay Linked to Chromosome Deletion in Children with Neurological Disorders
A study found that children with neuro-developmental problems born with DNA duplications or deletions on part of chromosome 16, show measurable delays in their ability to process sound and language. More...25 Feb 2015

New Probe Tracks Osteoarthritis Development
A new study has pioneered a technique to track the development of osteoarthritis in the initial and moderate stages of the disease. The technique could enable earlier diagnosis and management of the disease which affects millions, and is the leading cause of chronic disability in the United States. More...25 Feb 2015

Advanced 3D Facial Imaging Designed to Help in Early Identification of Autism
Autism is a range of closely related disorders observed in patients who exhibit a shared assortment of symptoms, including delays in learning to communicate and interrelate socially. Early detection of autism in children is the vital for optimized treatment. Using sophisticated three-dimensional imaging and statistical analysis techniques, researchers have identified facial measurements in children with autism that may lead to screening tools for young children and provide clues to genetic causes.

Novel Portable Noncontact Breast Imaging Product Launched
A new imaging scanner has been developed that uses non-ionizing radiation, instead of X-rays which cause cumulative damage to the body, to detect abnormal cell clusters in female breasts. The technology can be used to differentiate between healthy and abnormal cells. More...14 Jan 2015
Study Carried to Evaluate the Financial Cost of Unsustainable Practices in a Radiology Department
A team led by Colin J. McCarthy MB BCh FFR from the Department of Radiology, St. Vincent's University Hospital has carried out a study to monitor power consumption, audit waste recycling, and investigate what medical equipment vendors are doing to limit the environmental impact of their products.
