While gamma cameras helped GE Healthcare (at that time known as GE Medical Systems) revolutionize the field of functional medical imaging, there was introduced Hawkeye, a dual-modality SPECT and CT system, at one key limitation: the lack of anatomical markers in the image. the 1999 Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) Annual Meeting, heralding in a new era of “more clear medicine.” “We always understood that we needed anatomical and structural data to provide the best details and a precise answer to the clinical question,” says Ora Israel, MD, Director Emeritus of Nuclear Medicine/PET (retired) at Rambam Healthcare Campus, Haifa, Israel. She recalls using fiducial markers placed on the patient’s body to identify the location of key anatomical areas, such as the chest or abdomen. In some cases, Professor Israel and her colleagues would try to repeat the nuclear medicine study on a CT with the patient in the same position. It was a difficult and time-consuming process that she says never really worked well. “There was a clear purpose to improve the specificity of nuclear medicine by defining the anatomical relationship between isotope imaging and anatomy,” says Martin Sandler, MD, Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and formerly Chairman of the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

    Future-Proofing a Decade of Change Open Innovation 2030

    Open Innovation 2030 Future-proofing a decade of change Open Innovation 2030 From covid-19 to climate change, economic recessions to technological disruption, 2020 has served as a reality check that global crises are only going to become more common in today’s increasingly-complex and connected world. ‘Open Innovation 2030: Future-proofing a decade of change’, a thought leadership program commissioned by HCL in partnership with The Economist Intelligence Unit, explores how companies can seize opportunity in complexity to not only survive, but thrive, now and in the coming decade. To rise to the occasion, business leaders must align on an enduring vision to build a better future; one underpinned by equality, sustainability and global cooperation. Enterprise risk management typically focuses on ‘known risks,’ amplifying them to model the maximum impact so that the worst case scenario can be planned for. At the other end of the scale, ‘unknown risks’ are considered outlying cases, like the asteroids that sometimes fly by Earth—we know they exist and have plans that can be attempted as a possible first response, but they largely remain on the edges of our planning blueprints. ven with a canvas that wide, structures.

    Secrecy and Human Capital Management in US NSA and Israel Unit 8200

    LOOSE LIPS BUILD SHIPS? Secrecy and Human Capital Management in US NSA and Israel Unit 8200 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE INTERSCHOOL HONORS PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND COOPERATION FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES STANFORD UNIVERSITY By: Lisa Catherine Wallace June 2014 Advisors: Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar Colonel Joseph Felter Abstract ! How do intelligence organizations attract and make use of top talent? This paper approaches this question through a comparative case study of the labor ecosystems surrounding both the US’ National Security Agency and IDF’s signals intelligence branch, Unit 8200. As the cyber realm continues to assume a growing role in modern national security threat environments, intelligence organizations must grow and adapt to accommodate these new objectives. This inevitably involves the question of how to attract and make use of top talent in order to solve difficult and highly technical national security problems. Israel and the United States share similar national security interests, and both possess burgeoning and impressive high-technology clusters. This paper claims that a growing, public network of Unit 8200 and other Intelligence Corps alumni is extant in Israel’s high-technology sector. Furthermore, affiliation with Unit 8200 has a positive signaling and social capital value. By contrast, this paper argues that alumni from the NSA do not possess as strong of a signaling or social capital value in the US. This paper argues that the NSA is hindered by the ontology, secrecy, and culture of the organization itself, as well as US public understanding of national security organizations and cyber threats.
