    Advances in medical imaging and demands for better diagnoses brought up the idea to combine complementary image modalities with the aim to provide better image quality and more information. Many combined PET/MRI scanners designed for truly simultaneous operation are still in the developing stage. One of the main interferences between PET and MRI arises from the different material magnetic...

    Accurate, quantitative measurements of radiation fields are essential prerequisites for the safe and effective use of ionizing radiation in diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications. Common examples of radiation detectors include: ionization chambers, thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), films and various electronic devices. Semiconductor dosimeters such as p/n type silicon diodes and...

  3. 2153. Copper stable isotope redistribution is regulated by gut bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of mice (G)

    Oral (Graduate Student) / Orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Stable isotope abundances vary in nature due to differences in zero-point energies of the binding site of a molecule upon isotopic substitution. This causes isotopes of an element to participate in reactions with different rates resulting in a redistribution of the isotopes in a system. Although the range in relative isotopic abundance of copper in natural materials is narrow, < 1.0%,...

  4. 2280. *** Not in competition ***Competition During Reprogramming Gives Rise to Deterministically Elite Clones. (G)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Cellular reprogramming is a source of induced pluripotent stem cells, but this process remains incompletely understood. The current theory of equipotency during reprogramming, in which all cells are equally inducible, argues that clone size distributions arise only from stochasticity in the system. However, large variability is seen in experiments. Our null, stochastic model, does not agree...
