The first X-ray mobiles - Marie Curie's war

  • One response
With the approach of the German army to Paris, Marie Curie was forced to retrain in the absence of the ability to research radium. She came up with an idea - to equip vehicles with X-ray devices and bring them close to the front to better diagnose the wounded soldiers. Even the concept of an ambulance did not exist yet

New tests with the help of the MRI scanner

  • No comments
As the years go by, new types of sequences and protocols are developed and are joined by improvements in software and hardware - for example, you can see the great development in recent years in the field of cardiovascular imaging, bowel imaging and more

XNUMXD printing and a team of Stratsys volunteers were recruited to upgrade a prosthesis for a disabled IDF Paralympic athlete

  • One response
"Like the super heroes' aids, we wanted to give the prosthesis unique capabilities, such as a hidden wallet, or a beer opener and even a place for the prosthetic's operating tools... The small practical things can be really cool, but the design aspect is just as important."

MeMed raised 93 million dollars for the commercialization of the technology to differentiate between diseases from bacteria or viruses

  • No comments
MeMed's solution enables an informed decision on whether to treat with antibiotics or not, thus supporting the fight against bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The investment will be used to accelerate the development of additional products and marketing and global expansion

Precise radiation sources are expected to cause breakthroughs in medical imaging and other fields

  • One response
Researchers at the Technion have developed precise radiation sources that may replace expensive and cumbersome particle accelerators that are currently used to create radiation such as X-rays. These new sources produce controlled radiation with a narrow and precise spectrum and high resolution, and this with a relatively low energy investment
