EU-funded scientists are developing miniaturised balloons that will help doctors identify disease early and non-invasively. The microballoons will highlight tissue differences using three types of imaging technologies simultaneously.

High-quality imaging of the human body either at rest or when performing specific tasks is an important tool in diagnosing pathological changes in tissue structure and function. The ability to use two or more imaging systems simultaneously (multimodality imaging) significantly increases the power of diagnosis.
