Interesting approach to more accurate detection of illnesses if this works as well as initial reports reportedly indicate.

"The Physics arXiv Blog" has a bit more on it, with images, if you do not mind viewing a blogsite -albeit one with a scientific bent. I am not familiar with the site but the links referenced so far seem to pan out...

Being able to visualize capillaries does nothing for a person with coronary artery disease. You can’t treat the decreased capillary flow with anything except medications, that’s what we do now. We need more research into Angiogenesis: Creation of new blood vessels in Cardiac Perfusion!!

The sad part is that this study at Cornell has been carried out by Qian Wang, Yang Yu, Keqin Pan and Jing Liu. Our centralized public school system does not produce students who can carry out such work.

This was done IN VITRO....from the latin for “in glass”,
meaning the tissue was not alive. FAR cry from doing
such a thing IN VIVO....as in “in life”. Not a diagnostic
tool that is likely to become useful.....gallium is used as
contrast in MRI exams. In any significant amounts it causes significant renal damage including NSF, Nephrogenic
Systemic Fibrosis. Enough gallium to allow hi resolution
CT Scans of vascular structures would result in kidney failure and quite possibly death.

And since I have been operating CT and MR machines for decades I know whereof I speak.
