Innovation Delivered

SfN's 45th annual meeting is the premier venue for neuroscientists to present emerging science, learn from experts, forge collaborations with peers, explore new tools and technologies, and advance careers. Neuroscience 2015 will take place October 17-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.




Please visit us at Booth #343 where we look forward to showing you the nanoScan PET/MRI(3T), the ultimate translational imaging tool for neuroscience. You can navigate the whole floor plan at My Neuroscience Marketplace.

We're looking forward to seeing you in Chicago!

October 18-22, Gothenburg, Sweden

Visit Mediso at booth #171 - our booth is conveniently located next to the biggest cafeteria on the exhibition floor!

The Mediso Preclinical User Workshop will be held on Monday from 1pm to 3pm. More details at the EANM 2014 Event Page.

The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is the umbrella organisation of nuclear medicine in Europe and represents the sector towards the European Institutions. The EANM 2014 Annual Meeting will be held in Lyon, France this year in October. 

This year the SNMMI Annual Meeting will take place in St. Louis, MO, from June 7-11, 2014.

We all know that Washington University in St. Louis has a special place in the history of nuclear medicine. The first “in hospital” cyclotron in the United States was run by physicist Michel Ter-Pogossian in 1965. Positron emission tomography (PET) was developed at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in the early 1970s, and the first human PET study was acquired in April 1974. Mike Phelps and Ed Hoffman of Washinton University built the system with the group at EG&G ORTEC, included James Kelly Milam, Charles W. Williams, Terry D. Douglass and Ronald Nutt. PET III was composed of 48 NaI(Tl) detectors was a hexagonal array with excellent sampling by a combination linear movement of detectors and a 60-degree rotation of the gantry. The system had its own computer for controlling the motion of the detectors, gantry and bed, as well as performing image reconstruction.

Today the Institute is the world's only medical facility equipped with three dedicated cyclotrons for the production of radiopharmaceuticals used in PET studies.

Also I’ve got some personal connection with WashU – I serviced one of the first NanoSPECT/CT systems in the US at the University in the Spring 2007. During this time I was responsible for the NanoSPECT/CT development at Mediso and the system was even new for the service engineers. Needless to say I’m looking forward again to visit St. Louis! I haven’t been back in the town since then.

Related to the SNMMI Annual Meeting we will have some ad in the JNM Digital Newsline. The mouse image was taken at Charité University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany on their nanoScan PET/MRI.

 If you participate at the congress, please stop by Booth 1421 on the SNMMI Exhibition Floor. We have quite a few highlights to make a visit worth your while. The following systems will be demonstrated: nanoScan SPECT/MRI, PET/MRI from the preclinical line and CardioDESK, AnyScan S from the human product line. Stop by our booth at this important event for a good discussion or a friendly chat. We will also hand over invitations for our Sunday evening reception at the booth. You also get a quick product training so that you have a fast time to value.

I'm excited to announce that we've started our blog. Just two days before the opening of WMIC 2013 in Savannah, the first post lists the selected presentations citing the Mediso systems at this conference.
