More recently, we have identified of x-ray and radionuclide medical imaging. Welcome to the 2006 such targets concentrated in transport vesicles called caveolae. Intravital Medical Imaging Conference! microscopy and SPECT imaging show that antibodies targeting caveolae are not only tissue-specific but perhaps more importantly, are pumped actively across endothelium to penetrate and percolate throughout the tissue within seconds to minutes (normal lung) and minutes to hours (solid tumors) after intravenous injection. This unique integration of proteomic and imaging methods allow us to study how disease and tissue microenvironments can influence protein expression at the surface of endothelial cells lining blood vessels and how caveolae function to transport endogenous molecules as well as possibly targeted drugs, nanoparticles and gene vectors from the circulatory blood across the endothelial cell barrier to reach underlying tissue and even tumor cells. This strategy may be useful clinically for noninvasively diagnosing, treating and even monitoring many diseases. John N.

Newer technologies under development will further advance the adoption and use of molecular imaging. These include a PET insert with novel solid-state radiation detectors that can be operated inside a whole-body MRI system and innovative microchemistry systems with new biomarker generators, microfluidics, and/or minicyclotrons for molecular imaging probe development. These technological advances MI C can and have produced significant changes in the ways that medical imaging, laboratory research, and clinical medicine are practiced. This presentation will discuss the above with focus on the emergence of molecular imaging as the key to the development of molecular medicine and the expectation that PET (and integrations) will emerge as the most widely used of all imaging modalities. Biography: Dr. Ronald Nutt is CEO of Advanced Biomarker Technologies (Knoxville, TN), a company dedicated to developing molecular imaging biomarkers. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, and began his rich career as a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as a faculty member at the University of Tennessee, and then as Vice-President of EG&G Ortec where he was responsible for many innovations in nuclear physics instrumentation. Dr. Nutt co-founded several companies, including CTI Molecular Imaging in 1983 where he served as VP of Research and Development, and then as President and CEO, and CTI PET Systems Inc., a joint venture with Siemens Medical Solutions, where he served as President. Dr. Nutt has contributed more than 30 patents, numerous technical publications, and many invited talks at scientific conferences in the field of molecular imaging. In 1993, Dr. Nutt received the Region 3 IEEE Outstanding Engineer Award for “Outstanding Technical and Entrepreneurial Achievements in Medical Imaging”. Dr Nutt was recognized as a Fellow of the IEEE in 1995 with a citation that reads in part “For contributions to nuclear research, especially to that in the area of positron emission tomography (PET)”. Dr. Nutt also received the Nathan W. Daugherty Award in 1997, the highest Engineering Alumni Award from the University of Tennes- see. In 1999, Dr. Nutt was named the Academy of Molecular Imaging’s Distinguished Scientist of the Year; and in 2000, his contributions to the invention and development of PET/CT were recognized by TIME maga- zine when they named PET/CT the Medical Invention of the Year. 96 97

Aloha, Colleagues,

The 2007 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) and Medical Imaging Conference (MIC) will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii October 28 to No- vember 3. The venue is the Hilton Hawaiian Beach Resort & Spa that is situated on 22 oceanfront acres at the west end of Waikiki beach. It provides an ideal setting for our annual meeting with a great mix of ample conference space, first class accommodations, over 20 restaurants and lounges, several shopping arcades with over 90 shops, exotic wildlife and botanical gardens and classic Hawaiian hospitality. A trolley conveniently connects the hotel to other locations in Waikiki. The Organizing Committee is planning on a joint conference that offers state- of-the-art and up-to-date scientific information through the regular oral and poster presentations. There will be a number of topical short courses before and refresher courses during the joint conference to review current topics of special interest. A commercial exhibition featuring the state-of-art products and services from a wide range of vendors will take place during the main part of the meeting. A companion program will provide daily tours to the many attractions and activities in and around Honolulu and on Oahu island during the joint conference. The main attractions include Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, Diamond Head State Park, Hanauma Bay Marine Preserve, Iolani Palace, the Bishop Museum and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punch- bowl). Also, pre- and post-conference tours of the other Hawaiian islands, including the Big Island of Hawaii, Kauai and Maui are being planned. We would like to extend a special invitation to our colleagues in the Asia- Pacific region to attend the joint conference. The meeting offers a great opportunity to connect with old friends and colleagues and to make new ones from different parts of the world and to exchange new knowledge and ideas in nuclear science and medical imaging.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I encourage you to make plans now to attend this exciting joint conference of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. I look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii.
