04/23/2009 -- VisEn offers new fluorescence imaging options, enables multi-modal fusion
APRIL 23, 2009--VisEn Medical (Bedford, MA) this week launched two new offerings and expanded its fluorescence mediated tomography (FMT) platform. Its new FAST (Fluorescent Activatible Sensor Technology) imaging agents enable in vivo monitoring of biomarkers and drug response, and its FMT 2500 imaging platforms offer greater data ranges and multiplexing of biomarkers in vivo. A new adapter series enables data fusion between FMT and other imaging modalities. -
04/24/2009 -- Lumenis intros simulator for training of laser BPH procedure, plus disposable ureteroscope
APRIL 24, 2009--Lumenis Inc. (Yokneam, Israel and Santa Clara, CA) plans to introduce two new products during the American Urological Association's (AUA) 2009 annual meeting, which begins tomorrow in Chicago. First is a training simulator to help physicians learn the Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) procedure for treatment of enlarged protate. Lumenis will also demonstrate the PolyScope Disposable Ureteroscope, a new flexible scope with enhanced vision and flexibility. -
04/27/2009 -- Laser microdissection experts present interactive webcast on technology, applications
APRIL 27, 2009--Demonstrating how laser microdissection technology is helping to advance biomedical research--cancer and tumor microenvironment work in particular--the team from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Laser Capture Microdissection Core Facility will hold an interactive webcast on Tuesday, May 5. Laser microdissection was invented at the NIH; viewers will have the chance to hear from and ask questions of the engineer and pathologist engaged with it every day. -
04/27/2009 -- Study shows benefit of confocal laser endomicroscopy for urology
APRIL 27, 2009--According to new data presented today at the American Urological Association's (AUA) Annual meeting, real-time, in vivo confocal endomicroscopy may help urologists to differentiate low and high-grade bladder tumors from normal bladder tissue. Mauna Kea Technologies' (Paris, France) Cellvizio probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) system, which provides live images of internal human tissues at the cellular level, is the subject of the work. -
04/28/2009 -- Laser induces gamma brain waves, promising insight on neurological, psychiatric disease
APRIL 28, 2009--High-frequency brain waves (a.k.a. gamma oscillations) are believed crucial for consciousness, attention, learning and memory. Now for the first time, an MIT-led team has found a way to induce these waves using laser light in mice. Gamma waves are known to be disrupted in people with schizophrenia and other psychiatric and neurological diseases. The new tool offers a way to probe the function of these circuits.
