Abstracts

Over 980 abstracts were submitted for presentation at the Joint molecular Imaging Conference held in Rhode Island in September of 2007. Browse full text and color Abstracts here.

Meeting organizers invited the scientific community to submit abstracts of their current research to be peer reviewed and considered for inclusion in the scientific program. All accepted abstracts were published in the special book of meeting proceedings.

The Scientific Program was constructed in large part from oral and poster abstract presentations reporting significant technological advances relevant to imaging at the whole organism or cellular levels. Imaging modalities included nuclear medicine techniques (SPECT and PET) and non-nuclear techniques such as MRI, MRS, CT, ultrasound, intravital microscopy, optical imaging and diffuse optical tomography and other methods which elucidate molecular and cellular mechanisms, accelerate understanding of biology, test efficacy of therapeutic interventions in intact living systems and assess therapeutic outcomes.

Abstracts addressed one or more of the following categories:

  • Cancer Detection Imaging
  • Cancer Treatment Efficacy
  • Cardiovascular
  • Central Nervous System Diseases
  • Imaging in Neuroscience
  • Cellular Imaging and Trafficking
  • Stem Cells and Tissue Regeneration
  • Advances in PET/SPECT Probes
  • Advances in MR Probes
  • Advances in US Probes
  • New MR Instrumentation
  • New PET/SPECT Instrumentation
  • Animal Models of Disease
  • Imaging Gene Expression
  • Advances in Optical Probes
  • New Optical Instrumentation
  • Novel Imaging for Clinical Studies
  • Quantitation in Molecular Imaging
  • Other
