New imaging technique to detect onset of vision loss

Researchers have developed a new non-invasive retinal imaging technique that could prevent vision loss in diseases like glaucoma – the second leading cause of acquired blindness worldwide. The new technique called multi-offset detection, which images the human retina — a layer of cells at the back of the eye that are essential for vision — was able to distinguish individual retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which bear most of the responsibility of relaying visual information to the brain. The death of these RGCs causes vision loss in glaucoma, the researchers said.…

Researchers have located a new device that allows for 3-D molecular breast pics at better resolution than contemporary 2-D scans whilst reducing down the radiation dosages. the new tool known as variable attitude slant hollow collimator or VASH collimator replaces a aspect in current molecular breast imagers. The findings showed that the VASH collimator may also allow existing breast cancer imagers to offer up to 6 times higher contrast of tumours in the breast even as keeping the same or better photograph first-rate. similarly, the device may even gift the…
