3D imaging helps diagnose 1.7-million-year-old cancer

Cancer is often thought to be a product of modern times and lifestyles, but researchers have discovered what they believe is the earliest case of malignancy -- in a fossil from an early human ancestor who lived about 1.7 million years ago. The key to diagnosing this ancient cancer was advanced 3D imaging technology.

CT of mastodon helps rewrite North American prehistory

Danish and U.S. researchers have discovered new evidence regarding the first humans and hunters in prehistoric North America, thanks to CT scans of the remains of a mastodon. The first-known hunters on the continent can now be dated back nearly 14,000 years, according to a recent study in the journal Science.

Cold case closed: CT solves iceman's cause of death

You could say it's the oldest open "cold case" to date -- the death of the famous Alpine glacier iceman. Since he was discovered in 1991, his 5,300-year-old mummified remains have been subjected to numerous scientific tests, and theories have abounded as to how he died. Recently, however, a team of Italian and Swiss researchers determined the iceman's exact cause of death using multidetector-row CT (MDCT).

McCoubrie: It’s time for a rethink on MDTs

By Dr. Paul McCoubrie

Large multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) are expensive and time-consuming, and they don’t advance patient care and should be replaced by protocol-driven care and smaller meetings for complex patients, says Dr. Paul McCoubrie.
