The Society for Molecular Imaging gratefully acknowledges the following companies for their support of the educational program and/or participation in the technical exhibition.

To access a specific exhibiting company's description, booth number, and web address, simply select the company's name below:

Academy of Molecular Imaging Booth Number: 50
The Academy of Molecular Imaging (AMI) is an international society for molecular imaging that is composed of four Institutes: the Institute for Molecular Imaging (IMI), the Institute for Clinical PET (ICP), the Society for Non-Invasive Imaging in Drug Development (SNIDD) and the Institute for Molecular Technologies (IMT). These councils span molecular imaging from basic and clinical sciences to drug discovery and industry-generated products and services. The indexed journal of AMI is Molecular Imaging & Biology. AMI sponsors an annual scientific and educational conference, as well as various Institute-specific scientific, educational and promotional programs throughout the year. www.ami-imaging.org

American Pharmaceutical Review (tabletop) Booth Number: 60
American Pharmaceutical Review is the leading review of business and technology for the pharmaceutical industry throughout North America. Each issue offers American Pharmaceutical Review's 30,000 readers unbiased editorial on the following topics: drug delivery, information technology, research & development, analytical development and control, equipment and facility manufacturing and regulatory affairs. With its cross border perspective, American Pharmaceutical Review is able to keep its readership of senior executives, technical personnel, scientists, and others fully abreast of the latest trends and developments in the process of pharmaceutical manufacturing. www.americanpharmaceuticalreview.com

ART Advanced Research Technologies Booth Number: 38
ART Advanced Research Technologies Inc. is a leader in optical molecular imaging products for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. ART has developed products in medical imaging, medical diagnostics, disease research, and drug discovery with the goal of bringing new and better treatments to patients faster. eXplore Optix(tm) is an optical molecular imaging device designed for monitoring physiological changes in living systems at the preclinical study phases of new drugs. SoftScan®, an optical medical imaging device, is designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Finally, the Fenestra(tm) line of molecular imaging contrast products provide image enhancement for a wide range of preclinical Micro CT applications allowing scientists to see greater detail in their imaging studies. ART is commercializing these products in a global strategic alliance with GE Healthcare, a world leader in mammography and imaging. www.art.ca

Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG Booth Number: 15
BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES, located in Bad Wildbad, Germany, is one of the pioneers in Molecular Imaging. In the 70s BERTHOLD developed an animal imager based on a TLC scanner. Using LB 980 with its high sensitive intensified camera researchers pioneered the non-invasive measurement of gene expression in living organisms. With the improvement of slow scan CCD cameras BERTHOLD introduced the LB 981 NightOWL in 1996. Based on the microplate reader technology of BERTHOLD, in the new LB 983 the excitation energy in fluorescence is kept constant due to high sophisticated lamp and beam control. Since 3D-bioluminescence is not possible, BERTHOLD developed animal beds for multimodality imaging with MRI, PET, CT or ultrasound scanner. www.berthold.com

Biophotonics International Booth Number: 11
Biophotonics International magazine delivers a unique global insight into the photonic products and techniques that solve problems for researchers, product developers, clinical users, physicians and others involved in the fields of medicine, biology and biotechnology. Readers will find the information they need to apply the latest in imaging, optics, lasers, microscopy and many other light-based techniques to their work, but Biophotonics International takes it even further by completing the picture with coverage of techniques like MRI and electron microscopy that may not traditionally be thought of as photonic. It is published monthly and distributed free to those who use or apply photonics. For your free subscription please visit Website link: www.photonics.com/bio/wbsmi

Bioscan Booth Number: 39
At SMI 2006, Bioscan showcases the latest customer images acquired with NanoSPECT/CT ®. Bioscan manufactures two multi-pinhole imaging systems; HiSPECT ®, a low cost entry into small animal imaging which upgrades clinical SPECT cameras, and NanoSPECT/CT ®, a turnkey system with 1, 2 or 4 detector heads and optional X-Ray CT. Also featured are Bioscan's automated PET chemistry systems; AutoLoop™ and MeI-PLUS™ for Carbon-11 labeling, a brand new PET Reformulation module, and Bioscan's 4th generation FDG Synthesizer.

BIOSPACE Booth Number: 23
Biospace Lab has developed and markets worldwide high-performance ex-vivo, in-vivo and even in-actio systems for preclinical molecular imaging. Based on distinctive and patented technologies, Biospace imagers provide fast, quantitative and real time solutions to researchers involved in oncology, cardiology, neuroscience, radiotracer development, drug development and many other applications. Our portfolio of products includes autoradiography, planar scintigraphy, µSPECT, µSPECT/µCT, local and fast kinetics with PET tracers, bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging. www.biospace.fr

Bruker BioSpin MRI, Inc. Booth Number: 16
Bruker BioSpin MRI is a member of the global Bruker group and designs, manufactures and distributes life science and analytical research tools based on magnetic resonance core technology. Our technologies include NMR, EPR, MRI as well as superconducting magnets. Bruker BioSpin is the worldwide technology and market leader in NMR, EPR and preclinical MRI. Our solutions for molecular imaging are high field MRI systems for preclinical research. The systems provide state-of-the-art imaging and spectroscopy applications for in vivo investigations of small animals based on UltraShield Refrigerated (USR) magnets, dedicated gradient coils, modern array coil and multi receiver technology. www.bruker.com

Comecer Corporation Booth Number: 30
Comecer has been on the market for more than 20 years as specialists for radioprotection. We are world leaders in the manufacturing of hot cells, shielded doors for cyclotron or radiotherapy bunkers and automatic filling systems for the fractionation of radioactive substances. In the last years Comecer has become more and more involved in the isolation technology, so we are currently able to work out customized projects for the production of isolators to handle toxic and dangerous ingredients to be used in the pharmaceutical industry. www.comecer.com

CRi, Inc. Booth Number: 24
CRi Inc. develops and manufactures optical solutions for cellular imaging from in vitro to live cell, in vivo analyses. The solutions from CRi enable true multiplex analyses in single cell, tissue (Nuance™) and in vivo small animal imaging (Maestro™). Nuance is used in both brightfield and fluorescent-based histopathology studies. The software enables the capture and resolution of co-localized markers so as to differentiate and quantitate the cellular subpopulations in a tissue slide that carry one or more of the labeled markers. Maestro is the leading fluorescent-based small animal imaging system on the market. It is more sensitive than other systems, enabling the capture of a signal faster and deeper in the mouse. Visit our booth to see a demonstration on how our software allows you to resolve co-localized markers and map images of fluorescently tagged markers in-vivo in whole animal ridin dirty,
