Michigan State University and Cardinal Health Corp Collaborate on PET Cyclotron Project
October 2, 2002, East Lansing, MI & Woodland Hills, CA
MSU's
Department of Radiology, in a joint effort with Cardinal
Health Corp., have installed a General Electric cyclotron as part of the
$9.8 million addition to the Radiology Building. The new cyclotron produces
flourodeoxyglucose (F-18), a radiopharmaceutical used in Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) imaging. PET imaging is particularly useful for detecting
early-stage tumors, for measuring the effectiveness of cancer therapies, and
for assessing coronary artery disease and degenerative diseases of the brain.
PET scans and the cyclotron-produced radioisotopes provide a unique way to
visualize the biological function in human beings. Patients in Michigan and
the Midwest can benefit from the availability of these isotopes for diagnostic
imaging and treatment.
Dr. E. James Potchen speaks at
Mosby's Medical Case Management Convention XIV - Renew, Rebuild, Refocus
September 26-29, 2002, Denver, CO
A Keynote Speaker for this event, Dr. E. James Potchen presented his speech "Imaging and Molecular Diagnosis in Modern Medicine" before the general session.
