The 2006 International Functional Lung Imaging Workshop
September 14-16, 2006
The primary objectives of these workshops were to bring together a great variety of knowledge, experience and perspective from a diverse group of investigators. It covered topics ranging from novel imaging techniques to physiology to the clinical application of many new methods. The meeting consisted of a series of talks from invited speakers considered to be the leaders in their respective fields. The focus of these meetings were quantitative assessment of lung function, clinical aspects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, small airway disease, application of new imaging techniques for quantitative assessment of lung function, application of polarized gas for drug discovery, and standardization of new imaging techniques.

The Second International Workshop on Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 and its Application in Metabolic Imaging
July 23-26, 2009
The primary objective of these workshops are to bring together the cutting edge researchers of in the field of metabolic imaging with an emphasis on the emerging phenomenon of hyperpolarized 13C NMR/MRI. Cover topics ranged from recent advances in hyperpolarized 13C technology, novel imaging molecular and metabolic techniques, and clinical applications of new methods. The meetings consist of a series of invited talks from individuals who are considered to be the leaders in their projective fields. The focus of the meetings were and will be on quantitative assessment of metabolism, clinical aspects of molecular processes of cancer and other pathophysiologies, and application of hyperpolarized 13C for real-time assessment of molecular processes and metabolism, and standardization of new imaging techniques.
