Scanning fiber angioscopic images with red reflectance for structural images (left) and blue fluorescence for label-free biochemical contrast (right). The images reveal multiple atherosclerotic ...

Cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis, a build-up of plaque on the inner walls of arteries which affects normal blood flow, is a major health problem worldwide. But atherosclerosis is not a ...

A minuscule, single-eyed camera fits in a easily swallowed pill. The device would conduct low-cost screens to prevent esophageal cancer. A fundamentally new design has created a smaller endoscope that ...

Feb. 10 (UPI) --Researchers from the University of Michigan used a unique application of a medical camera to view the carotid artery to assess risk of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup ...

Researchers have developed a new self-calibrating endoscope that produces 3D images of objects smaller than a single cell. Without a lens or any optical, electrical or mechanical components, the tip ...

An electrical engineer at Stanford has led the effort to develop an endoscope that is not only as thin as a human hair but also boasts a resolution four times better than existing ultrathin models.
