Summary of event
On the 16th June 2010 SINAPSE held its second Annual Scientific Meeting at the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The event was a great success attended by 160 people and was oversubscribed. There was a keynote presentation by Professor Jeff Bulte, Baltimore, on Stem Cell Imaging. Speakers from across the SINAPSE imaging network in Scotland covered the wide range of imaging topics; including Dr Lars Muckli from University of Glasgow, Professor Christian Schwarzbauer SINAPSE Chair at University of Aberdeen, Professor Vin Cunningham from University of Aberdeen, and Professor Edwin van Beek SINAPSE Chair of Radiology at University of Edinburgh. Fifty posters were presented by staff and students from around the SINAPSE network and also from across the UK. Prizes were presented for the best poster, best proffered oral presentation, and one for clearest communication. Topics covered MR (structural, diffusion, perfusion, functional, permeability, vascular); PET and SPECT; CT, EEG; MEG; image analysis, e-science; multi-centre studies; stroke; dementia; ageing; psychosis; mental health; diabetes; oncology; vascular imaging and imaging in psychology.
