Pixel Perfect – Imaging Technologies in Biomedical Research (Vol. 27, Nos. 03n04, Full Issue)

Abstract

In this issue, we have two highlights that will look at how far imaging technologies have come since the X-ray. First, Keefe Chee from BD Life Sciences, Singapore, discusses how real-time imaging spectral flow cytometry (RTI-SFC) allows scientists to identify previously unclassifiable cells in real time, bridging a long-standing gap in biomedical research. And then we have Torrey Smith, CEO of Endiatx, to share with us about PillBot™, the world's first motorised pill camera that will allow a doctor to view the entire stomach and assess for any lesions, making stomach cancer diagnosis more accessible and palatable. Finally, some research highlights we have this issue include a novel diagnostic tool that will improve the clinical diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, a textile that can convert body movement into electricity, and a uterine tissue-specific hydrogel that could aid in infertility.
