British scientists use advanced imaging to observe cell apoptosis in 3D

Researchers from both the Imperial College London and the University College London have used an advanced imaging technique to capture 3D visualizations of cell processes, including apoptosis, in zebrafish, according to research published in the Journal of Biophotonics.

The scientists used optical projection tomography and fluorescence lifetime imaging to map the activity of a biosensor throughout an intact zebrafish, providing a powerful means to visualize cell processes in their physiological context.

The research could have applications in future drug discovery and could provide a way to visualize whole body responses to potential treatments.

Positron, a New York-based nuclear imaging company, will now provide Upbeat Cardiology Solutions with advanced PET/CT systems and services. 

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.
