- NEO is developing an online
introductory course for pharmacy students. Local instructors
or facilitators can utilize the course materials with slides,

- SPECT/CT Imaging Coming to
Nuclear Medicine
- SPECT
images focus on metabolic abnormalities that are present earlier
than the anatomical changes otherwise seen with CT alone.
Registering both images for a complete pathology picture in a
single exam, the SPECT/CT camera helps physicians eliminate
guesswork and enables them to plan better patient treatment.

During World War II, John
Lawrence and his colleagues used radioisotopes to help
pilots deal with the consequences of high-altitude
flying. Pressurized cabins did not exist at that
point. Donner Lab researchers used radioisotopes of
inert gases to study decompression sickness and other
maladies. These tracer studies made fundamental
contributions to the understanding of the circulation
and diffusion of gases. This research led to the
development by the laboratory's Cornelius Tobias of
aircraft oxygen measurement equipment. As a result of
this work, an automatic parachute-opener was
developed.
