Prof. D. Townsend, Director, A*STAR-NUS Clinical Imaging Research Centre, SG. The past few decades have witnessed tremendous progress in the development of instrumentation and techniques for medical imaging. From the radiographs and scintigraphy of the 1960s to the modern Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) devices of today, greater and greater detail of the human body has been revealed non-invasively. Imaging is now widely used as an essential adjunct to clinical assessment for diagnosis and staging of human disease, and increasingly in the design of appropriate therapies and then monitoring response to these treatments. However, despite this tremendous progress in the performance of imaging instrumentation, the challenge remains one of early detection and accurate disease staging when a cure is still possible. This presentation will review recent progress in instrumentation for medical imaging and, in particular, the development of new hybrid designs that acquire dual modalities within a single device. Some speculation as to future trends in high performance medical imaging instrumentation will be offered.

Only a year has passed since the discovery of a new type of particle, the ‘Higgs Boson’, at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s highest-energy subatomic particle collider. The new boson weighs in with an impressive mass of about 125 GeV, and it is the last piece in the Standard Model jigsaw-puzzle of the elementary building blocks of matter and their interactions via forces of nature. However, the Higgs Boson discovery is a gateway to possibly even more exciting new physics processes that have been the subject of intense theoretical speculation. Is the new particle exactly the Higgs Boson of the Standard Model, or could it be the herald of radical theories such as Supersymmetry, which predict a shadow-world of new particles that mirrors our everyday atomic world. Only super-precise measurements of the couplings of the Higgs Boson to fermions and vector bosons will allow us to discriminate between the Standard Model and theories such as Supersymmetry. We will describe the intense particle physics programme that is taking shape to address these questions in the ‘Higgs era’. From 2015 LHC will run again at twice its starting energy and may we hope it will yield further spectacular discoveries. Meanwhile designs are converging for a high-energy electron-positron collider to serve as a ‘Higgs Factory’. And a new generation of experiments to study the ghostly neutrino is being planned.
