  1. 126. Applications in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
    Prof. Bob Ott (Institute of Cancer, Royal Marsden Hospital, London)
    13/09/2005, 16:00
    Applications in Nuclear Medicine And Radiology
    Invited Talk
    The presentation will cover the applications of radiation detectors to digital X-ray imaging, fast X-ray CT scanning, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for small animals, whole-body SPECT/CT scanning, positron emission tomography (PET) for small animals and the latest crystals developed for PET and SPECT. There will be a brief introduction to the use of Active Pixel...

    Surgery is still considered the primary therapeutic procedure for high grade gliomas and several recent clinical studies have shown that gross total tumor resection is directly associated with longer and better survival when compared to subtotal resection. Considering this context and based on a first experience in radio-guided surgery [1,2], we are currently developing an...

    The treatment of cancer using radiotherapy is rapidly advancing; particularly with the advent of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) which allows dynamic shaping of the dose delivered to the patient. This makes possible the treatment of tumours close to critical areas of the body eg. the spine. To allow the full potential of this powerful technique to be realised requires...

    The incident of breast cancer is increasing and thus requires a powerful diagnostic technique for early detection. X-ray mammography (as screening and diagnostic tool) is claimed to be the golden standard in breast tumour imaging. However, mammographic findings are, non-specific in many cases, and adjunctive methods such as nuclear medicine techniques are needed. Planar...

    Contributed Talk
    Although conventional mammography is currently believed to be the most effective breast screening tool, alternative techniques are being sought for those cases in which a second-stage examination is required. Diffraction Enhanced Breast Imaging (DEBI) is a promising alternative, as the difference in the diffraction profiles of healthy breast tissue and of carcinoma is much more...
