A U-SPECT+/CT (MILabs, The Netherlands) will be installed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL) to deliver ultra-high resolution, high sensitivity, accurate quantification and fast scanning speed of dynamic radio-labeled molecule distributions, contributing to molecular and functional studies in CNS, cardiovascular, oncology, nephrology and reproductive biology.

T cell immunotherapy prompted a striking response from three out of nine women with advanced cervical cancer, including one who had extensive metastases, according to new data from the National Cancer Institute. This could offer an alternative treatment option for women with few choices remaining.

NTP Radioisotopes SOC Ltd, a subsidiary of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa), produces a quarter of the world's medical radioisotopes used to allow for about 40 million medical diagnostic images every year, making it the third largest producer and supplier globally. This proud South African corporate citizen is situated at the sophisticated Necsa nuclear facility site, west of Pretoria and routinely serves customers in 60 countries on six continents with its range of nuclear radiation-based products and services.

Shakespeare called King Richard III a hunchback, but new genetic and reconstructive CT data show this story had more of a twist. Until recently, the exact nature and whereabouts of Richard's physical deformity was a mystery. While questions still daunt researchers, a compelling picture of the monarch's spine has emerged.

In this video, BBC reporter Fergus Walsh is the first to undergo an MRI scan as part of the largest scan study to date and describes how the study is evolving.

IBA Molecular North America, Inc. (IBA Molecular) announced the signing of a 3-year group purchasing agreement with Premier, Inc. (Premier), a leading health care improvement company, to offer PET radiopharmaceuticals, including 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), a diagnostic radiotracer used in oncology, neurology and cardiology, to Premier member imaging centers across the country.

Watch a fly-through of Glass Brain, a 3D imagining of the human brain by researchers at the University of California San Francisco. This video shows the 3D brain model made possible by electroencephalography data and white matter tract reconstruction from MRI diffusion tensor imaging. UCSF is using the technology to research possible treatments for neurodegenerative disease.

The human genome was first mapped just a little over a decade ago. Its 3 billion bits of DNA are the pages of the human instruction manual. Read this great review featuring Eric S. Lander from MIT, Harvard, and the Broad Institute in Cambridge to see how far we've come and what the future of genomics holds.
