Your doctor will **w have access to detailed information about you –– at least of your blood vessels, arteries and heart that is

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Tech**logy created a device that will allow doctors to capture real-time 3D images from inside the heart, coronary arteries and blood vessels. The microchip device is less invasive than other medical tools, catheter-based and small e**ugh to operate in blood.

Only 1.5mm in diameter, the device uses ultrasound imaging techniques to capture images at 60 frames per second –– though the breakthrough component is its ability to take forward-facing images. Current imaging tech**logy can only capture a cross section view and can hinder a surgery's success Read more...
