In Vivo Microscopy: Technologies and Applications, A Workshop for Small Animal Imaging. March 18 & 19, 1999, Gaitherburg, Maryland.
Abstract
Several seminal papers in the early 70's have revolutionized modern medicine through the introduction of advanced imaging technologies. Hounsfield's' and Cormack's. 2 papers led to a Nobel Prize in medicine for their invention of computed tomography. Lauterbur 3 and Mansfield's 4 papers may eventually lead to a Nobel Prize for the invention of magnetic resonance imaging. Ter-Pogossian's paper laid the foundation for modern nuclear tomography. 5 Ultrasound imaging has older origins, 6 but improvements and new approaches continue to make this image modality an indispensable tool in many clinical areas. An extraordinary body of research in imaging technologies and applications has developed over the last 25 years. The majority of this work has understandably focused on the clinical applications of these technologies. But a number of researchers have recognized the potential for imaging in the basic sciences.
