An image of the future: Innovations in imaging research
11:00pm - 1:00am
Lawson Health Research Institute has long been a leader in biomedical imaging. The first MRI images in Canada were captured at St. Joseph’s Hospital and we were the first in the country to install PET/CT and PET/MRI scanners. New developments in imaging research continue to enhance the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases, from cancer to PTSD.
You are invited to Lawson’s Café Scientifique, a free community event providing an informal opportunity to get involved with science. Hear a panel of Lawson Imaging scientists discuss their cutting-edge work and have the opportunity ask questions as part of an open-forum discussion to gain insights from the speakers, and from one another.
In celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary as a nation, this event is the first of a two-part series focusing on the future vision for health care in our country and the legacy our research will leave.

Approximately nine per cent of Canadian adults will experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at some point in their lifetime (Canadian Mental Health Association). As trauma and trauma-related disorders have become more recognized in society, the need for research has accelerated. At London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London, our researchers are leading the way in advancing understanding, diagnosis and treatment in this critical area of mental health.
Join Lawson Health Research Institute on Thursday, September 28th at Goodwill Industries for a special Café Scientifique event, “Uncovering Trauma: A Conversation about PTSD and Moral Injury.”
Our world-renowned researchers and those with lived experience will share the importance of addressing trauma, PTSD and moral injury.

Hybrid PET/MRI Symposium
12:15pm - 10:00pm
On February 12, 2012, the first hybrid PET/MRI in Canada, and fifth in the world, was installed in London, Ontario at St. Joseph's Hospital. In 2016, hybrid PET/MRI started up in Toronto (UHN) and Ottawa (Royal) with new sites committed in Toronto (Sunnybrook), Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver.
This one day symposium will summarize the London experience over the last five years. This will include the technological challenges that have been met (e.g. the need for PET compatible RF coils, MRI directed attenuation correction in brain imaging and the advantage of co-siting a medical cyclotron and radio-chemistry facility) and those that remain (e.g. reimbursement for routine patient use, hybrid reconstruction, hybrid kinetic modeling and respiratory and cardiac corrections for true registration). Experience with applications in cardiology, epilepsy, prostate cancer and rectal cancer will be presented. Presenters from Ottawa and Toronto will also look to the future of hybrid PET/MRI in cardiology, neurodegeneration and psychiatry.
Researchers and students interested in hybrid PET/MRI and its potential role in clinical diagnosis will benefit from this symposium. This includes those interested in technology development and those interested in using PET/MRI to discover the mechanisms of disease and the assessment of therapies. In one full day, attendees will gain knowledge concerning the strengths and challenges of hybrid PET/MRI technology and its growing role in oncology, neurology and cardiology. With a growing number of sites in Canada, there will be an excellent opportunity to form collaborations and the opportunity to establish a Canadian network.
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 14, 2017, 8:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Location: St. Joseph's Hospital, Shuttleworth Auditorium (D0-104)
