For optimal treatment in cancerology, clinicians need specific, precise, sensitive methods to quantify treatment response, monitor residual disease and detect early recurrence in patients. Residual...

Orbiter finds evidence of ice in lunar crater

Scientists using the Mini-RF radar on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have successfully estimated the maximum amount of ice likely to be found inside a permanently shadowed lunar crater located...

NASA Beams Mona Lisa to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at the Moon

As part of the first demonstration of laser communication with a satellite at the moon, scientists with NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance [...]

Apollo's lunar dust data being restored

Forty years after the last Apollo spacecraft launched, the science from those missions continues to shape our view of the moon.

Eugene Cernan, “last man on moon”, landed 40 years ago

Eugene A. Cernan, a Purdue University alumnus and the most recent person to walk on the moon, stepped out of the lunar lander 40 years ago Tuesday (Dec. 11).Cernan was commander of Apollo 17, which b...

Lunar impacts created seas of molten rock, research shows

Early in the Moon’s history an ocean of molten rock covered its entire surface. As that lunar magma ocean cooled over millions of years, it differentiated to form the Moon’s crust and......

LRO spectrometer detects helium in moon's atmosphere

Scientists using the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project spectrometer aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) have made the first spectroscopic observations of the noble gas helium in the tenuous atm...

Researchers Enlist Cameca Nanosims Microprobe to Determine Origins of Lunar Water

Microprobe’s Results Indicate Water on Earth and Moon Has Similar Origin A research team made up of scientists from Brown University, the Carnegie Institution for Science, and Case Western Reser...

No link between lunar phases and incidence of psychological problems: Study

Contrary to popular belief, there is no connection between lunar phases and the incidence of psychological problems. This is the conclusion reached by a team of researchers directed by Professor Genev...

In vivo precision of the GE iDXA for the assessment of total body composition and fat distribution in severely obese patients.

No study has evaluated the precision of the GE Lunar iDXA™ (GE Healthcare, USA) in measuring body composition among severely obese patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the precision of the iDXA for tota...

In vivo precision of the GE Lunar iDXA densitometer for the measurement of total body composition and fat distribution in adults.

In vivo precision for body composition measurements using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; GE Lunar iDXA, GE Healthcare, Bucks, UK) was evaluated in 52 men and women, aged 34.8 (s.d. 8.4; range...

In vivo Precision of the GE Lunar iDXA Densitometer for the Measurement of Total-Body, Lumbar Spine, and Femoral Bone Mineral Density in Adults.

Knowledge of precision is integral to the monitoring of bone mineral density (BMD) changes using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We evaluated the precision for bone measurements acquired using...

Global silicate mineralogy of the Moon from the Diviner lunar radiometer.

We obtained direct global measurements of the lunar surface using multispectral thermal emission mapping with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment. Most lunar terrains...

New dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry equipment in the assessment of vertebral fractures: technical limits and software accuracy.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate software accuracy and influence of body mass index on image quality of Lunar iDXA (Lunar, Madison, WI, USA; software enCORE 12...
