A physicist at the Royal Free Hospital, London, has been awarded a £236,000 grant to carry out research using a PET scanner that creates a 3D picture of the whole body in one scan, allowing doctors to see how tumours and organs are functioning. Diagnostic nuclear medicine and PETCT physics lead Dr Beverley Holman received […]

As a leading UK-based manufacturer of radiation shielding, radioactive materials storage and handling products Bright Technologies Limited (BriTec) continues to work together with the molecular imaging community to address its radiation protection needs. “Whether your department is performing diagnostic imaging or molecular therapy we can offer solutions designed specifically for your application,” BriTec says. From […]

A novel 3D-printed device that could replace the need for drug and chemical safety testing on animals has received new funding. Invented at the University of Edinburgh, the plastic ‘body-on-chip’ device mimics how a drug moves through the body’s organs, using PET imaging to validate its journey. The team behind it has received £260,000 from […]

Hermia, a state-of-the-art, vendor-neutral suite for molecular imaging from Hermes Medical Solutions, enables imaging professionals to streamline workflows and increase the consistency and quality of clinical image review and reporting, while keeping pace with the development of scanners, radiopharmaceuticals and imaging procedures in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Hermia harnesses the power of AI and […]

The nuclear medicine department at University College London Hospitals has updated its rubidium infusion system (RUBY-FILL) for cardiac PET imaging. A rapidly emerging and non-invasive test, cardiac PET can quickly and accurately diagnose heart disease, as well as measure myocardial perfusion, function and blood flow at rest and stress in one procedure. The RUBY-FILL system […]

The British Nuclear Medicine Society (BNMS) president, council members and scientific and education committee members would like to invite you to the BNMS Annual Spring Meeting on May 16-18 at the SEC, Glasgow. The Elders of the City of Glasgow were of course looking for an event that would compensate for the lull after COP26 […]

Life Molecular Imaging, a division of Alliance Medical Group, develops novel PET tracers for molecular imaging. The company’s first commercial product is NeuraCeq, a radiopharmaceutical tracer for PET imaging of patients that are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive impairment. The technology makes it possible to rule out AD or […]
