ICIS 2019 - Sponsored Delegate Opportunity
The International Cancer Imaging Society regularly attracts delegates from over 35 countries to it's annual teaching course. As a registered charity, we would like to ensure we have delegates in attendance from some of the world's least developed and developing countries, where funding travel to Italy and ICIS registration fees may not be possible.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with international radiologists who you think may be able to benefit from this opportunity.
The ICIS Secretariat invites any individual from any country categorised by the World Bank as 'low income' or 'lower middle income', to apply to be a sponsored delegate at ICIS 2019. The list can be found here.

About ICIS
The International Cancer Imaging Society exists to meet the important challenges of advancing imaging in the multidisciplinary management of cancer.
We promote education in oncological imaging and stimulate research in the study of human tumour behaviour, bringing together radiologists with an interest in oncological imaging for the exchange of ideas, and to organise scientific meetings, multicentre research studies and postgraduate courses within the field.
Cancer Imaging Journal
Impact Factor 3.153
Cancer Imaging is the official journal of ICIS, it is an open access, peer-reviewed journal with original articles as well as reviews and editorials. The journal encompasses CT, MRI, ultrasound, single photon and positron emission tomography, including multimodality imaging in all kinds of malignant tumours, plus new developments, techniques and innovations.
A really enjoyable, informative and fun three days in a beautiful town.

Tiny lensless endoscope captures 3D images of objects smaller than a cell
Published: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 18:06:31 EDT
Researchers have developed a new self-calibrating endoscope that produces 3D images of objects smaller than a single cell. Without a lens or any optical, electrical or mechanical components, the tip of the endoscope measures just 200 microns across, about the width of a few human hairs twisted together.
Non-invasive electrical stimulation alters blood flow in brain tumors
Published: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 16:04:29 EDT
Scientists demonstrated that applying low-intensity electrical stimulation to the brains of patients with tumors resulted in decreased blood flow within tumors while leaving the rest of the brain unchanged. Although further study is needed, the findings suggest that a series of such treatments could modify tumor growth and progression.
New contrast agent could make MRIs safer
Published: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 16:04:26 EDT
Researchers have taken a key step forward in developing a new, possibly safer contrast agent for use in MRI exams.
Screening for cervical spine risk factors could reduce CT scans by half
Published: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:23:05 EDT
Study finds identifiable risk factors ED staff can use for evaluation, avoiding over 100,000 unnecessary scans annually.
Greater blood pressure control linked to better brain health
Published: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 13:04:35 EDT
For adults with high blood pressure, greater blood pressure control than what's currently considered standard is associated with fewer adverse changes of the brain, which could mean lower risks of dementia and cognitive impairment.
Evaluating blood flow is key to early diagnosis and treatment for people with critical limb ischemia
Published: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 07:55:18 EDT
The strengths and limitations of non-invasive and other imaging techniques used to diagnose critical limb ischemia are reviewed in a new statement. Sex and ethnic disparities exist in the diagnosis and treatment of critical limb ischemia.
Two-in-one contrast agent for medical imaging
Published: Thu, 08 Aug 2019 10:03:47 EDT
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualizes internal body structures, often with the help of contrast agents to enhance sensitivity. Scientists have now developed a bimodal contrast agent suited for two imaging techniques at once, namely, MRI and a technique called photoacoustic imaging. The use of only one contrast agent for two imaging techniques improves the sensitivity of both, with only little impact on the patient's body.
New intra-nasal imaging to study airways in patients with cystic fibrosis
Published: Wed, 07 Aug 2019 14:22:45 EDT
Researchers describe minimally invasive new tool for viewing differences in the nasal airways of cystic fibrosis patients in vivo at a cellular level.
Amyloid is a less accurate marker for measuring severity, progression of Alzheimer's
Published: Tue, 06 Aug 2019 12:11:33 EDT
Researchers find fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is a better indicator of cognitive performance when compared to PET scans that detect amyloid protein.
Blood pressure monitoring may one day be easy as taking a video selfie
Published: Tue, 06 Aug 2019 08:34:16 EDT
Future blood pressure monitoring could become as easy as taking a video selfie. Transdermal optical imaging is a smartphone-based technology that accurately measured blood pressure from a video of a person's face in a recent study.
Eye imaging technology provides opportunities in biotechnology
Published: Fri, 02 Aug 2019 10:45:24 EDT
A researcher examined the flow properties of aqueous microcellulose suspensions. Optical coherence tomography, an imaging technology commonly used in medical imaging of eye, was applied in a novel way in her study.
Super-resolution microscopy sheds light on how dementia protein becomes dysfunctional
Published: Thu, 01 Aug 2019 09:33:19 EDT
Researchers have used super-resolution microscopy to observe key molecules at work inside living brain cells, further unraveling the puzzle of memory formation and the elusive causes of dementia.
'Sniff-cam' to detect disease by analyzing bad breath
Published: Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:54:26 EDT
Having bad breath can mean someone ate a smelly lunch, but it could indicate that the person is sick. Various scent compounds have been linked to illnesses such as diabetes, lung cancer and Parkinson's disease, leading scientists to develop technology that measures these substances. However, the challenge is creating instrumentation that can detect low, diagnostic levels of these disease biomarkers. Now, scientists report a highly sensitive 'sniff-cam' that fits the bill.

Lymph nodes can predict survival in patients with esophageal cancer
Published: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 11:12:47 EDT
It is difficult for physicians to estimate recurrence and survival in patients with esophageal cancer. Researchers have found that the response of lymph nodes, as opposed to that of primary tumors, to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is more effective in predicting disease recurrence and patient survival in individuals with metastatic esophageal cancer. This finding is likely to enhance the accuracy of predictions regarding treatment outcome, and may lead to improved treatment approaches.
Novel imaging approach has potential to identify patients with CAD
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2019 12:48:50 EDT
Researchers have developed a novel imaging approach that has the potential to identify patients with coronary disease without administration of drugs or contrast dye and within a short 15 minute exam protocol.
Under development medical camera could help cut time and cost of procedures
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2019 09:46:42 EDT
Researchers have completed a successful clinical trial to detect and image radioactive tracers used in PET and in SPECT scans at the same time in a patient. It is hoped the method will enable doctors to scan patients for abnormalities in shorter times while reducing the amount of radiation patients would be exposed to.

Worrisome increase in some medical scans during pregnancy
Published: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 12:57:31 EDT
Use of medical imaging during pregnancy increased significantly in the United States, a new study has found, with nearly a four-fold rise over the last two decades in the number of women undergoing computed tomography (CT) scans, which expose mothers and fetuses to radiation. Pregnant women are warned to minimize radiation exposure.
