There has been a resurgence of interest in the development of dedicated brain imaging systems that employ the techniques of PET, SPECT, PET/MR, SPECT/MR, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT in order to increase understanding of how the brain works as well as to perform advanced clinical diagnostic tasks and/or assess response to therapy for a variety of conditions. In this workshop, researchers interested in dedicated brain imaging systems will have a chance to exchange ideas on problems of common interest, with presentations on topics such as: The clinician’s perspective – what dedicated brain imaging systems need to achieve in order to become important tools in the clinic The state of the art in hardware designs Dealing with patient motion Optimal extraction of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters from dynamic data Trends in tracer development Strategies for assessing and achieving optimal image quality This half-day workshop will commence after the closing MIC plenary session on ‘Clinical needs in Brain Imaging’ in the afternoon on Saturday, Oct. 28. The $45 Workshop registration fee includes a closing event with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.
