Mapping tiny corneal nerves to untangle ocular mysteries

Consider the cornea if you will – and most people won't unless they're having a problem. It is the transparent front surface of the eye which allows vision by focusing light as it enters.

New standardized criteria for diagnosing brain tumors with amino acid PET

Diffuse gliomas are malignant brain tumors that cannot be optimally examined by means of conventional MRI imaging. So-called amino acid PET scans are better able to image the activity and spread of gliomas.
