Bioengineer and other science news outlets report that a cardiac SPECT imaging system performs scans 10 to 100 times faster than current SPECT systems, according to new research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2022 Annual Meeting. Authors of the abstract include Rutao Yao, PhD, professor of nuclear medicine.

A story reports on the numerous changes, including requiring face coverings and daily health check-ins, UB has implemented to safely bring students back to campus for the fall semester. The article quotes numerous UB officials, including Robert S. Miletich, MD, PhD, professor and interim chair of nuclear medicine and chair of the Faculty Senate. He said there “certainly is a contingent of faculty that think that this is fraught with danger. Well, yeah it is, because there’s a pandemic.” He added, however: “In terms of public health, what UB’s doing is right on target.”

Robert S. Miletich, MD, PhD,  interim chair and professor of nuclear medicine, discusses his interest in using advanced nuclear medicine techniques, a new field that he calls nuclear neurology, to diagnose brain disease, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Robert S. Miletich, MD, PhD, interim chair and professor of nuclear medicine, believes the field will one day be as important to neuroscience as it is to cardiology.
