Biomedical imaging using Cerenkov radiation from mouse to man

• A. Spinelli (Ospedale San Raffaele di Milano)

Room: Aula Conversi Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is a novel method for preclinical research based on optical imaging approaches.CLI has been developed using small animal and allows to image the b io-distribution of radiopharmaceutical labeled with beta emitters. Recently applications of CLI to humans for both in vivo and ex vivo (tissue) imaging were published by our group and others. There has been also a considerable interest in the possible uses of CLI to monitor external-beam radiation therapy.In the seminar we will provide an overview of the most recent results and applications of CLI to biomedical imaging.

Technological innovations in healthcare: what is expected from Physicists ?

• Francesco Gabbrielli (Umberto I Policlinico di Roma, Vicepresidente SIT)

Room: Aula Conversi eHealth systems, robotics, precision medicine, medical apps, digital devices and telemedicine services, represent innovative solutions for new treatments and new healthcare organization. Physicians and Physicists have to understand new paradigms to collaborate on R&D for digital health.
