  ESMI Conference Poster contribution (molecular imaging): Macrophage-ablation leads to a decrease of enhancement in organs containing high numbers of macrophages (e.g. liver and spleen), and only marginal changes in macrophage-poor organs (e.g. kidneys). We conclude that macrophage ablation influences the phagocytic activity, and thus opening new potentials to investigate and manipulate uptake of imaging probes.

• Four pillars of Science 2.0: How to enable web 2.0 for scientists and...

  Science, for the most part, is unaware of the existence of Web 2.0. Instead, a "legacy gap” exists. Modern research policies, laws, culture and impact measurement methods deter scientists from adopting Web 2.0. This in turn prevents scientists from... Read more »

  Sir Harold Kroto on good ideas - "They appear crazy on the surface" and do not listen to your supervisor.

• Using X-ray luminiscence to overcome limitations in molecular imaging

  I thought of the possibility to use X-ray luminiscences to overcome limitations in molecular imaging 2.5 years ago and did not follow it because of negative colleague opinions, time and resource constraints, and now: it works and it is published - I will learn from this mistake! Read more »

• Color CT Distinguishes Between Two Contrast Media

  "Color" CT can be used to distinguish two different contrast media: in this case iodine and barium. Unfortunately this implementation is only currently being used in non-living mice - however, very interesting to read. Read more »

  We should change this - new recon methods may open great new potentials of CT - let us call CT after paradigm changes in its reconstruction "CT 2.0" ! :)

  Why do commercial CT scanners still employ traditional, filtered back-projection for image reconstruction?

  Inverse problems. 01/2009; 25(12):1230009.

  Despite major advances in x-ray sources, detector arrays, gantry mechanical design and especially computer performance, one component of computed tomography (CT) scanners has remained virtuallyDespite major advances in x-ray sources, detector arrays, gantry mechanical design and especially computer performance, one component of computed tomography (CT) scanners has remained virtually constant for the past 25 years-the reconstruction algorithm. Fundamental advances have been made in the solution of inverse problems, especially tomographic reconstruction, but these works have not been translated into clinical and related practice. The reasons are not obvious and seldom discussed. This review seeks to examine the reasons for this discrepancy and provides recommendations on how it can be resolved. We take the example of field of compressive sensing (CS), summarizing this new area of research from the eyes of practical medical physicists and explaining the disconnection between theoretical and application-oriented research. Using a few issues specific to CT, which engineers have addressed in very specific ways, we try to distill the mathematical problem underlying each of these issues with the hope of demonstrating that there are interesting mathematical problems of general importance that can result from in depth analysis of specific issues. We then sketch some unconventional CT-imaging designs that have the potential to impact on CT applications, if the link between applied mathematicians and engineers/physicists were stronger. Finally, we close with some observations on how the link could be strengthened. There is, we believe, an important opportunity to rapidly improve the performance of CT and related tomographic imaging techniques by addressing these issues.

• Is energy resolving (color) CT coming?

  Moving towards photon energy resolving CT would mean a quantum leap in CT soft-tissue contrast (as moving from B/W TV to color TV) - recent developments in detector technology might overcome obstacles from the past. Let us keep our fingers crossed! Read more »

• Institutional e-mails under papers - still good state of the art?

  Most researchers still use institutional e-mails in papers, abstracts or presentations. I don't think this is appropriate, especially with today's researcher's mobility and not-forwarding institute admins. Supporting institution is clearly provided by the affiliation. Read more »
