Follow on Google News | Bar Ilan University Medical School installs TriFoil Imaging's Triumph PET/CT SystemTriFoil Imaging is excited to announce that the research facility at Bar Ilan University (BIU), Safed, Israel has installed a Triumph II PET/CT.
By: TriFoil Imaging “Through our distributor in Israel, Lavi MedTech we are honored to have been selected to provide BIU their first multi-modality small animal imaging system,” said TriFoil Director of Sales Sean Pitts. “We look forward to working closely with BIU and Lavi to help facilitate any research or imaging they require in the future.” Prof. Izhak Haviv of the Faculty of Medicine in the Galilee stated, “Recent characterization of the somatic mutations in cancer tissue, using next generation sequencing technology unravels a remarkable intra-tumoral heterogeneity and dynamic flux in response to cancer therapy, while resistance is acquired. Many of the genomic mutations appear to drive cancer phenotype, but the potential of such mutations to serve as a new Achilles heel is questionable. Therefore, improving sustained drug response rate and survival critically depends on assessing transient drug response and identifying the regions of the cancer that are innately resistant to the intended drug. To deal with this, we have purchased the Triumph II LabPET/CT. With it we perform FDG assessment of human cancer drug response in patient derived xenograft (approximately 300 patients) and perform development and optimization of PET-tracer drug derivatives that allow visualizing the avidity to drugs on the onset of targeted drug therapy of cancer patients. Combined with synchronized biopsy, and extensive genomic sequencing of the evolutionary selection products and refractory lesions, this panel of reagents could accelerate the selection of the next line of care, while the patient is undergoing targeted therapy.” TriFoil Imaging’s state-of-the- About Bar Ilan University Medical School, Galilee Bar-Ilan University is the fastest-growing institution of higher education in Israel. Those pursuing their BA, MA and PhD degrees on our award-winning campus just outside Tel Aviv and in our six regional colleges across Israel are joined by thousands more who are enrolled in certificate and enrichment programs, including the largest in-service teacher training program in Israel. The sterling academic experience provided by Bar-Ilan University is what one would expect from any world-class institution, in Israel or elsewhere: we impart knowledge to our students, and provide them with the critical ability and tools to analyze that knowledge, to study academic subjects with rigor and discipline, and apply their findings and understandings to contemporary realities. http://www1.biu.ac.il About TriFoil Imaging Leading research laboratories around the world depend on TriFoil Imaging (formerly Gamma Medica – Ideas Pre-Clinical) About Lavi Medtech Lavi Medtech has specialized for the last few decades in the introduction of innovative technologies to the Israeli market.
