Congratulations to Henry Huang and David Truong team for licensing and development agreement Kinetic Imaging System (KIS) to Mirada Solutions Ltd (a subsidiary of CTI Molecular Imaging, Inc). KIS is a fully integrated software system to assist
the learning, planning, design, and data analysis of mouse microPET studies. Through
computer simulation and animation of tracer kinetics in all tissue organs of a whole
animal (based on a realistic 3D mouse atlas), KIS allows users to learn and to evaluate
conveniently a multiple of biological, chemical, and experimental factors that could
affect the mouse microPET images. Its main module, in fact, allows users to perform
"virtual" mouse microPET studies quickly and conveniently without using a real animal.
The system serves multiple functions-education, virtual experimentation, experimental
design, and image analysis of experimental data. It consists of 4 main modules-"Dictionary",
"Simulation", "Image analysis", and "Model Fitting".

Congratulations to David Stout for receiving a SNM Pilot grant to help fund imaging of the substantia nigra in squirrel monkeys.
This work represents the first step towards quantitatively imaging the entire central dopaminergic system in this important animal model of Parkinson's disease.
Eventually we hope to investigate changes in the cell bodies following lesioning to see if the nigra provides earlier indications of neuronal loss compared to the usual quantitation of dopaminergic axonal terminals in the striatum.

Congratulations to David Truong, Henry Huang, et al for their abstract (An Automated Archival System for Nuclear Medicine) which was selected to be in Dr. Wagner's SNM Highlight Lecture. Dr Wagner stated that the archival system is "an exemplary example, ... every nuclear medicine department should have it ..." Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2000, St Louis.
This article is also mentioned in The Jounal of Nuclear Medicine, August 2000, Vol 41, No. 8 (The Age of Communication section, 32N-34N).
