Hyperpolarized 129Xe MR has been proven to be a powerful tool to evaluate the pulmonary function and has been widely used to study various lung diseases. Preclinical studies have advantages in exploring the feasibility of hyperpolarized 129Xe MR.

Get answers to your questions on 3D spheroid-based drug discovery, organoid research and working with advanced cell models. 

2015 marked the first ever translation of hyperpolarized gas MRI to diagnostic clinical practice. Research at the University of Sheffield now continues with hyperpolarized 3He and 129Xe gas lung MRI and asthma.

After a short introduction on the physio-pathological roles of platelets and the importance of their cell adhesion mechanisms for human health, webinar will present data from most recent studies on the redox-dependent regulation of platelet activity.

Technology allowing evaluation of live animals repeatedly is indispensable to gain better insight into the dynamics of lung disease progression and treatment and computed tomography (CT) can have enormous benefits in a research context.

Watch the recorded webinar on PET/MR, driven by Peter Caravan at MGH for the application part, during which the launch of NEW (mini) PET Insert Si 103 will be announced. 

The ability to monitore and quantitate lung disease in real time is an advantage to using small animal microCT. Also, 3D analysis provides data about the whole lung instead of the snap-shots associated with conventional analysis techniques.
