    Overview of Medical Imaging in Oncology

    Positron Emission Tomography is an invaluable and perhaps most important tool for assessing cancer in vivo. Dr. Burrell provides a quick overview of the types of imaging used in oncology, specifically describing the role of PET in each stage of the therapy cycle. A brief history of PET is given, together with the basic physics and a glance at radiopharmaceutical use in oncology. The potential role of PET from diagnosis through staging, therapy planning, post-therapy evaluation and followup is discussed and many case studies presented.

  • Molecular Imaging Probes: Discovery, Development and Manufacturing

    Molecular Imaging Probes: Discovery, Development and Manufacturing

    Taking novel imaging probes from discovery in a lab setting, through full development and on to manufacturing and clinical trials is one of the goals of the MITNEC program and the Centre for Probe Development and Commercialization. Dr. Valliant, the leader of the CPDC and a collaborator in MITNEC outlines each stage in this process, describing all of the steps involved. In particular, new probes in development for imaging neurologic disease are discussed.

    Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Flow Quantification with Rubidium-82 PET

    Responding to the impending shut down of reactor facilities and a call for further research, deKemp et al. are exploring alternative agents for PET imaging of the heart that do not rely on Technetium-99m. In finding a suitable alternative, Rubidium-82 has been investigated for its accuracy and binding affinity, its ability to provide a prognosis of future events, and ability to guide effective therapy. Dr. deKemp provides an overview of the work completed to date, together with future directions of this research.
