A new blood test is able to correctly predict non-small-cell in patients years before any CT scan can detect it, say researchers from the University of Kentucky, USA. The test identifies human immune response to tumors. Non-small-cell lung cancer patients have a 40% chance of living for ...
to have brain injury through an MRI scan, even when a CT scan did not detect it- Abbott's diagnostic test, currently in development, is poised to be the first point-of-care blood test for assessing concussions on its next generation i-STAT...

Chest CT scan.A powerful X-ray makes detailed pictures of the inside of your chest. MRI.Powerful magnets and radio waves make images of your heart. Looking at Your Lungs Other tests look specifically at your lungs and how well they are working. ...
To further explore this hypothesis, methods for automated and batch-wise lung vessel analysis are required. The three main goals of this study are therefore: (1) To develop and test an algorithm for automated segmentation of lung vessels. (2) To apply this algorithm to a large chest CT ...
However, with current PET-CT scanners, longer cannula (> 1 m) may be required to connect to bedside inline counters, and without correction for dispersion, it is likely that K1 will be overestimated. A simple check is to compare estimates of K1 with expected blood or plasma flow rates ...
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a sophisticated structure whose full functionality is required for maintaining the executive functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Tight control of transport across the barrier means that most drugs, particularly large size, which includes powerful biologicals...
Claudin-5 but not Vegfr2 is required for Unc5B BBB regula- tion. To test if reduced Claudin-5 expression in Unc5BiECko brains was functionally involved in the Unc5BiECko BBB defect, we crossed Unc5BiECko mice with eGFP::Claudin-5 mice that express 2-fold higher Claudin-5 levels ...
CT (Computed Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) was conducted every two months after the first cell infusion. Clinical efficacy was evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Because most PD patients missed the CT scan required by iRECIST, we ...
