A Conversation with Makoto Fujita
نویسنده
چکیده
X -ray crystallography is one of the best tools to determine a molecule’s structure. But it’s not much use when your cherished compound is a greasy smear that resolutely fails to crystallize. In 2013, Makoto Fujita of the University of Tokyo unveiled a method that offered hope to researchers struggling with stubborn samples. It relies on a metal organic framework (MOF), a highly porous lattice of metalbased nodes connected by organic ligands. When organic molecules soak into these pores, the crystal lattice of the MOF holds them in an oriented way as though they were crystallized, allowing their structure to be probed by X-ray analysis. Although this “crystalline sponge” technique had some early missteps, Fujita’s team has refined the method, and it is winning supporters. Mark Peplow checked in with Fujita for a progress update.

Automated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...

99mTc-MIBI Washout Rate to Evaluate the Effects of Steroid Therapy in Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Objective: We sought to determine the usefulness of the 99mTc-MIBI (MIBI) washout rate for the evaluation of steroid therapy in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Methods: Eleven CS patients underwent MIBI myocardial SPECT both before and 6 months after initiating steroid therapy. The washout rate (WOR) of MIBI was calculated using early and delayed polar map images. The washout score (WOS) of MIBI was ...
