A peek into the future of cell imaging

The European Network for Cell Imaging and Tracking Expertise (ENCITE) and EIBIR were very proud to hold their 2nd workshop at the University of Mons. Experts presented remarkable insights into new methods of imaging of pathophysiological processes and cell functions, imaging and cell therapy, as well as nano-sized probes, tools for contrast enhancement and image-guided therapy.

Attendees all enjoyed the exceptional opportunity to exchange ideas and to meet experts in an international environment.

‘Dosimetry and Health Effects of Diagnostic Applications of Radiopharmaceuticals with particular emphasis on the use in children and adolescents’, is an 18-month project that started in April 2010, coordinated by EIBIR. The Scientific Coordinator is Prof. Michael Lassmann from the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the University of Würzburg, Germany. The main aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive report on the short-term and long-term safety of nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures.

The Alliance for MRI online petition is still open for anyone who has not yet signed up. The petition aims to safeguard the future use of MRI in Europe by requesting an EU-wide exemption for the medical use of MRI and related research from any exposure limit values set in the Physical Agents 2004/40/EC (EMF) Directive. We are now entering a crucial phase in the campaign, as the European Commission is expected to publish the draft of the revised Directive in autumn, which will then be discussed in the European Parliament and the European Council. Please add your voice to the cause and spread the word!
