Medical imaging is at the forefront of diagnostics today, with imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), scanning and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) increasing steeply over the last two decades. However, persisting problems of image resolution and quality still limit these techniques because of the nature of living tissue. A solution is hyperpolarization, which involves injecting the patient with substances that can increase imaging quality by following the distribution and fate of specific molecules in the body but that can be harmful or potentially toxic to the patient. A team of scientists from EPFL, CNRS, ENS and CPE Lyon and ETH Zürich has developed a new generation of hyperpolarization agents that can be used to dramatically enhance the signal intensity of imaged body tissues without presenting any danger to the patient. Their work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Veterinary CyberKnife Cancer Center (VC3), a privately owned advanced radiation treatment center for veterinary use, today announced the opening of its facility in Malvern, Pa. The CyberKnife is a non-invasive way to deliver radiation to tumors, enabling treatment with greater precision than traditional linear accelerators and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) machines. The CyberKnife delivers an entire therapeutic dose of radiation in one to three treatments versus 17 to 20 treatments of traditional radiation therapy. VC3 has changed the way companion animals with cancerous tumors are treated.
