The research projects are part of $30 million in funding awarded throughout the State of Ohio in September by the Ohio Third Frontier Commission. These latest grants fund two significant imaging research projects – Positron Mammographic Imaging and Cardiac Perfusion with Computed Tomography (CT) – that are part of the Philips Healthcare Global Advanced Imaging Innovation Center, formed in June 2010 to bring together radiologic experts to coordinate clinical research, education, development and commercialization of advanced imaging technologies. The Imaging Center was funded through an initial $5 million from Ohio Third Frontier Commission and a $33.4 million matching commitment from Philips. The Positron Mammographic Imaging project was funded to develop a first-of- its-kind system that will provide greatly enhanced resolution of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) technology that is used to detect breast cancer through CT or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) imaging. The goal of the Cardiac Perfusion with Computed Tomography (CT) project is to create a novel cardiac imaging product which will enable emergency room physi- cians to make more definitive diagnoses and immediate treatment decisions for heart attack patients. ■ 54 | Cleveland-Akron-Canton MD NEWS MDNEWS.COM JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2012 ADVERTISERS' INDEX Akron Children's Hospital ....................
