The NIH’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) is inviting researchers to apply for dollars to explore ways to harmonize imaging strategies with biomarker methodologies en route to creating an integrated system for cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis and care.

The World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) has announced the addition of two new interest groups: Synthetic Biology and Reporter Genes and Molecular Imaging Nanotechnology and Theranostics. 

UltraSPECT partners with HeartLight Pharmacy Services to help nuclear medicine facilities deliver reduced radiation dose, shortened scan time for patient, staff safety.

The Center for Molecular and Functional Imaging (CMFI) at the University of California – San Francisco will install the MILabs VECTor4CT in support of a large number of NIH funded research projects in the areas of oncology, neuroscience and drug discovery/development.  The UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging invested significant resources in establishing the CMFI in 2003.  Major research efforts at CMFI include translational nuclear medicine imaging research using both SPECT/CT and PET/CT.  Utilization of the VECTor4CT will benefit from the CMFI installed medical cyclotron, state of the art radiopharmaceutical laboratory and in-house vivarium all under one roof.

Ageing 2016 will be held from February 9 to 11, 2016 at Cineworld: The O2 Peninsula Square London SE10 0DX United Kingdom. The annual international summit will look at the various aspects of processes and research involved in ageing and senescence.

Mentally demanding activities may be neuroprotective and an important element for maintaining a healthy brain into late adulthood, according to findings published in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience.

A robust, population-based study has revealed that, from 2001 through 2009, the use of PET imaging swelled among patients with resected non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).

Gadolinium chelate administration is largely unnecessary for imaging pediatric tumors when performing MRI or combined PET/MR scans, according to a recent study published by the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
