Purdue University announced that its Bindley Bioscience Center has deployed a new imaging device to improve the research for musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neuroscience and cancer diseases.

MILabs’ U-SPECT-II/CT imaging system will be utilized by researchers to capture molecular and anatomical images for precision analysis in medical research applications.

Philip S. Low, Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University, stated that the imaging system would allow life science researchers to take a snapshot to examine the progression of diseases. The imaging system also offers a high level of specificity that cannot be attained with existing technologies. Low added that the tool would allow researchers to develop new solutions for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, in addition to cardiac problems, depression, diabetes and cancer.

The National Institutes of Health awarded $14.9 million federal stimulus funds to the Bioscience Center to advance the university’s disease research efforts.
