New Medical Imaging Dataset Aims to Advance Tissue Stiffness Measurement Research

A comprehensive collection of magnetic resonance elastography datasets has been made available to researchers worldwide. The data includes phantom benchmarks alongside human liver and brain scans to advance tissue stiffness measurement algorithms.

Breakthrough in Medical Imaging Data Sharing

Researchers have released comprehensive magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) datasets that reportedly include phantom, human liver, and human brain data, according to recent scientific reports. This collection aims to facilitate the development and refinement of inversion algorithms used to measure biomechanical properties of soft tissues.

Ingestible Bioprinting Capsule Emerges as Potential Non-Surgical Treatment for GI Conditions

Researchers have created a swallowable bioprinter the size of a pill that can repair gastrointestinal tissue damage without surgery. The magnetic capsule delivers bio-ink directly to ulcers and hemorrhages, guided entirely by external controls. Early testing shows promising results for treating conditions that currently require invasive procedures.

Breakthrough in Non-Invasive Medical Technology

Researchers from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) School of Engineering have developed what they’re calling the world’s first ingestible bioprinter, according to reports published in the journal Advanced Science. The pill-sized device represents a significant departure from conventional surgical approaches to gastrointestinal repair, potentially offering a non-invasive alternative for treating tissue damage within the gastrointestinal tract.
