Promotional flyer for the HSC Preclinical Imaging Symposium held March 17, 2023, at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas, with an option to attend virtually by Zoom. The event focuses on preclinical imaging tools used to study diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The flyer notes that attendance is free and that breakfast and lunch are provided for registered in-person attendees. The flyer lists MRI imaging speakers including Scott C. Beeman, PhD; Peter Fox, MD; and James Quirk, PhD. PET imaging speakers include Buck Rogers, PhD; Yankai Sun, PhD; Seth T. Gammon, PhD; and Naomi Sta Maria, PhD. A photo on the flyer shows an MRS PET/CT 80 imaging system. Additional text describes the Preclinical Imaging Core at HSC, which supports research using small animal models and advanced imaging systems. Features highlighted include a 7T preclinical MRI system based on dry magnet technology, a floor-standing high-resolution CT system, and a PET system using clip-on technology. A QR code and web link are provided for registration. The HSC logo appears at the bottom of the flyer.

The first-ever Preclinical Symposium in HSC will take place on March 17, 2023, which will bring together leading experts in the field to discuss the latest developments and applications of preclinical imaging. The symposium can be attended in-person (breakfast and lunch provided) or virtually, and registration is free of charge.

This event celebrates the major investment HSC has made in preclinical imaging that brings state-of-the-art (CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT) technologies to research scientists in North Texas. This an exciting opportunity to learn how these technologies can facilitate your research and network with fellow scientists doing groundbreaking work using preclinical imaging.

The symposium will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, and poster presentations on a variety of topics related to preclinical imaging, including molecular imaging, small animal imaging, imaging probes and contrast agents, imaging techniques, and data analysis. This event provides a unique opportunity for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to share their knowledge and experiences, network with their peers, and explore collaborations.
