4 th International Conference on Imaging Technologies in Biomedical Sciences

While the Anger gamma camera was dominant for several decades for nuclear medicine imaging, there are a number of significant developments in progress. The large increase of the usage of PET scanners has been a result of new detector materials such as LSO, GSO, YAP etc, improved electronics and algorithms such as list mode reconstruction and in particular the combination with CT. Finally althou...

New Interventional Technologies Expand Treatment Options for Cardiovascular Disease

Molecular imaging of cardiovascular disease.

Molecular imaging aims at sensing specific molecular targets, fundamental biological processes, and certain cell types in living subjects. An integrative discipline rooted in the biological, chemical, and imaging sciences, molecular imaging has broad applications in biology and drug discovery1–5 and increasingly within cardiovascular disease.6–12 Before discussing key factors spurring the growt...

Imaging of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Atherosclerosis is characterized by thickening of the walls of the arteries, a process that occurs slowly and 'silently' over decades. This prolonged course of disease provides a window of opportunity for diagnosis before symptoms occur. But, until recently, only advanced atherosclerotic disease could be observed. Now, developments in imaging technology offer many enticing prospects, including ...
