Gamma camera developer Gamma Medica-Ideas (GM-I) has been awarded a $100,000 grant to develop a SPECT/MRI small animal imaging system.

The Northridge, CA-based GM-I said it plans to develop the technology in collaboration with Dr. Orhan Nalcioglu, director of the Tu & Yuen Center for Functional Onco-Imaging and professor of radiology, physics, and electrical engineering at the University of California, Irvine; and Dr. Ben Tsui, professor of radiology, electrical and computer engineering, environmental health sciences, and biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.
