Ensuring Quantitative Accuracy in PET

Image quality is only one aspect of functional imaging with PET and SPECT. The ability to reproducibly extract quantitative information from our images is critical to research. This webinar will interest anyone working with pre-clinical PET and SPECT in industry and academia, including those with limited knowledge of the techniques. Post-grad students, technicians and principal investigators wanting to understand more about the techniques may find the webinar particularly useful.

			Nanopore reveals shape-shifting enzyme linked to catalysis Scientists observed characteristics of an enzyme inside a nanopore, revealing that it can exist in four different folded states, or conformers, that play an active role in the reaction mechanism.

			Fatty acids could be effective platform for drug delivery Triglycerides have long been treated as a threat to human health after being linked with an increased risk of stroke. Now, these fat stores found in the blood have been utilized as an effective transportation method of oral medication.
