Dear Users, As you might have noticed, the scratch drive is again fairly full. We will be deleting data older than 2 weeks from scratch at the end of the week. Please make sure you have transferred your data on your own storage space (computer, external HD, server) by Friday 18th noon. As a reminder, scratch is only a transfer server (from the microscope to your own computer) not for storage, data can be deleted at any time. On microscopes, data older than 3 months will be deleted automatically - please remember to keep your data safe on your own storage space (or talk to us regarding OMERO image storage). Best wishes, Debbi Debora Keller, PhD FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy - Facility Manager - Super-Resolution Specialist - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 408 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ, UK Phone: +44 (0)207 594 2023 Mobile: + 44(0) 7760 256 889 E-mail: d.keller(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:d.keller@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00586] FW: Save the date - Hounsfield Lecture 2015 - Jürgen Hennig - Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Visions of Life
by Keller, Debora 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

See below - some different type of imaging, but should be of interest nonetheless! Cheers Debbi From: Elson, Dan S Sent: 16 September 2015 12:07 To: Keller, Debora Subject: Save the date - Hounsfield Lecture 2015 - Jürgen Hennig - Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Visions of Life Dear Debora Please can you send this email out to your internal email distribution list? It is about a college lecture that will be of interest to your users. Best wishes dan Dear colleagues We are pleased to announce that the Hounsfield Lecture is being re-launched in memory of Nobel Laureate Sir Godfrey Hounsfield. This event brings together medical imaging researchers at ICL and beyond and allows an international leader in biomedical imaging to address the college imaging community. This year's Hounsfield lecture will be given by Professor Jürgen Hennig<https://www.bcf.uni-freiburg.de/people/details/hennig> from the University Medical Center Freiburg. Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Visions of Life Professor Jürgen Hennig Jürgen Hennig is a German chemist and medical physicist, internationally renowned for his work as one of the pioneers of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for clinical diagnostics. He is an alumnus of Imperial and also studied at the universities of Stuttgart, Munich and Freiburg, where he currently works as Scientific Director of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Chairman of the Magnetic Resonance Development and Application Center. His awards include the Biosciences and Medicine Max Planck Research Award (2003), the highest scientific award of Taiwan - Tsung Ming Tu Award (2010), and an Einstein professorship from the Chinese Academy of Science (2011). Please save the date, 6 pm Wednesday 4th November, and note the location will be SAF G16. Further details, including information on a medical imaging poster event and competition<http://hamlyn.doc.ic.ac.uk/hounsfield/poster-competition> to be held at 5 pm the same day, can be found on the Hounsfield Lecture website - please submit a poster! http://hamlyn.doc.ic.ac.uk/hounsfield/ Yours sincerely Hounsfield Lecture Organising Committee 2015 Jürgen Hennig - Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Visions of Life Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been around for more than 30 years but is still undergoing rapid development. This progress is being driven by innovative technologies as well as new challenges and opportunities arising from the rapid development in biomedical research. MRI not only produces good images, but it also enables non-invasive measurement and visualization of metabolic, microstructural, functional and physiological processes. These offer the potential for studying the multiple parameters associated with normal and disease processes, with applications to areas of medical research including neuroscience, cardiology and metabolic disease. Multiparametric MRI imaging provides an ideal and necessary supplement to genetic profiling and personalized medicine. In conjunction with other imaging techniques, MRI adds a spatiotemporal dimension to the spatially non-specific information provided by genetics. The importance of this can be seen through analysing the genetic heterogeneity of tumors, and MRI allows the detailed study of changes in phenotype caused by genetic modifications in animal models. The richness of phenotype modifications caused by even very isolated genetic changes is ample demonstration that the interrelation of molecular factors with the systemic level is much more than a simple one-to-one correspondence. The clever and creative use of new nano- and microtechnologies has already led to unprecedented improvements in imaging quality and imaging speed as well as new concepts in spatial encoding and the widespread use of high power graphical processor units. The introduction of new technologies is expected to lead to incremental improvements in current approaches to MRI, as well as new applications. Although MRI has come a long way since its early stages, it still has far to go. The Hounsfield Lecture Advances in biomedical imaging technology have allowed tremendous progress in diagnostic and surgical imaging since the first X-ray. Each new development has been based on fundamental scientific progress in science and engineering, resulting in Nobel prizes in medicine for the non-medically trained inventors of techniques such as CT and MRI. Activity that brings together scientists, engineers and clinicians can promote further technological breakthroughs. The Hounsfield Lecture is one such opportunity and allows an international leader in biomedical imaging to address the college imaging community. The event acts as a focus to bring together medical imaging researchers at ICL and beyond and features a poster viewing event and competition that attracts high numbers of submissions from across all faculties. The inaugural event was presented in 2005 and the last was in 2009. Past speakers at the event include James Fujimoto, Rakesh K Jain, Peter Hunter, Sam Gambhir and Robert Balaban.

[FILM-Users 00584] Imperial College - Oliver Sin - My brain is always open exhibition
by Oliver Sin 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition of works by Oliver Šin at the Centre for Languages, Culture & Communication (Level 3, Sherfield Building South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London SW7 2AZ) on 11th of September, 2015 at 6 pm. The exhibition will be on view till October 31st, 2015. The exhibition will be opened by Dr David Stokes who has been heavily involved in events and activities aimed at engaging the public in the exciting world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), organising events such as research festivals at the Science Museum London, and hands-on science weekends. The artist Oliver Sin bases his work on ta possible dialogue between science and art, on feedback between the cold world of a scientist and the usually bohemian life of an artist. The result is amazing, a little Dada, a little Expressionist, always Conceptual and full of ideas and questions. And art which motivates viewers with irony, with colour winks. You cannot be indifferent when faced with it. For this exhibition Oliver used the open minds of Imperial College London.
