• American Institute of Physics: The Physics Information NETsite The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a membership corporation chartered in New York State in 1931 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare.
   

• Australian Institute of Ultrasound:  Since 1995 the Australian Institute of Ultrasound has provided continuing education programs for the ultrasound profession. Throughout the past 10 years, over 2000 Sonographers, physicians, and other medical professionals have participated in our regularly scheduled seminars dedicated to diagnostic ultrasound. Our programs have continued to evolve to stay at the cutting edge of ultrasound education.
   

• Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)  FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and eliminating unnecessary human exposure to man-made radiation from medical, occupational and consumer products. There are thousands of types of medical devices, from heart pacemakers to contact lenses. Radiation-emitting products regulated by FDA include microwave ovens, video display terminals, and medical ultrasound and x-ray machines.
   

• Center for Morphometric Analysis, Massachusetts General Hospital  The Center for Morphometric Analysis (CMA) is dedicated to the development and application of morphometric methods to biomedical imaging data, primarily high-resolution MRI. Using automated and semi-automated software written in our lab, MRI brain images are segmented into anatomical regions of interest. From this, we study the volume, shape, and location of these regions and combine this with other types of information (behavioral studies, functional-MRI scans, etc.) to analyze both the structure and function of the human brain.
   

• Center for X-Ray Optics
   

• CYCERON PET Research Center
   

• Institute of Physics  The Institute of Physics is a leading international professional body and learned society, established to promote the advancement and dissemination of physics.
   

• Joint Center for Radiation Therapy (JCRT), Harvard Medical Center  Welcome to the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program. This program resulted from the fusion of the two established residency programs at Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Joint Center for Radiation Therapy in the Longwood Area. Each had a long history of tradition and achievement and the fusion brings together these strengths.
   

• Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, University of California, Los Angeles  At LONI , we strive to improve our understanding of the brain in health and disease. LONI is a leader in the development of advanced computational algorithms and scientific approaches for the comprehensive and quantitative mapping of brain structure and function.
   

• MAX-Lab, Lund University, Sweden  MAX-lab is a Swedish national laboratory which supports three distinct research areas: Accelerator physics, research based on the use of synchrotron radiation and nuclear physics using energetic electrons. Time at the facility is shared between groups working within these three fields.
   

• Medical Image Processing Lab, State University of New York at Stony Brook  The Medical Image Processing Laboratory conducts investigations in medical image processing and analysis. It is located in the Department of Radiology in the School of Medicine, but is home to graduate students from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
   

• Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Society  The Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Society is an International society dedicated to the ideals of Ultrasound application to the musculoskeletal system. Over the past several years, the Society has grown steadily, with ever-growing memberships from all the continents.
   

• National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, U.S.  The NHMFL develops and operates high magnetic field facilities that scientists use for research in physics, biology, bioengineering, chemistry, geochemistry, biochemistry, materials science, and engineering. It is the only facility of its kind in the United States and one of only nine in the world.
   

• Physics Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology  The Physics Laboratory is one of the major operating units of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Its mission is to support United States industry by providing measurement services and research for electronic, optical, and radiation technologies.
   

• Pitt Chemistry X-ray Crystallography Lab, University of Pittsburgh  We use X-ray diffraction to determine the three-dimensional structure of organic and inorganic molecules which have been created in the various synthetic research groups here in the University of Pittsburgh Chemistry Department.
   

• Radiation Calibration Laboratory, University of Washington, Madison  The University of Wisconsin Radiation Calibration Laboratory, in the Department of Medical Physics is a non-profit education and research-oriented service laboratory. Calibration services are available for most radiation measurement instrumentation available in the medical or health physics community.
   

• Radiological Service Training Institute  For the past 20 years, RSTI (Radiological Service Training Institute) has been providing the finest quality in diagnostic imaging training.  With a selection of over 30 courses each year, RSTI has trained over 10,000 service professionals from over 30 different countries in radiology, mammography, CT, ultrasound, networking, PACS, and DICOM. Located in Solon, Ohio, RSTI offers classrooms and lab facilities to accommodate up to 60 people.  Each lab and classroom is equipped with the best instruments and technology to assure our students are at the top of service professional market. RSTI has an amazing staff.  Its personnel and instructors are what makes RSTI the best in the industry.  RSTI is sensitive to system performance and possess a sense of urgency at all levels of the training process.  Therefore, RSTI uses quality to train you to be the best.  Not only is RSTI a leader of excellence in training, it has a worldwide network of resources to help people buy the righ equipment and is becoming one of the most sought out companies for parts, equipment, and medical units. 
   

• Turku PET Center  Turku PET Centre is a Finnish National Research Institute to promote the use of PET in the medical research. The Centre was founded in 1974 by the University of Turku, Åbo Academy University and the Turku University Hospital. The Centre integrates top scientific expertise with excellent facilities and equipments located centrally in the university campus and university hospital. Fruitful interaction and collaboration between basic scientists
  and clinical investigators is a long-standing tradition.  We are working on the development of new tracers, with experimental, preclinical and clinical studies with new compounds and drugs, as well as with clinical investigations. The location of the Centre in the University Hospital allows us to study seriously ill patients.
   

• Wolfson Brain Imaging Center, Cambridge University  The Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre (WBIC) is a research facility attached directly to the Addenbrooke's Hospital Neuro Critical Care Unit and dedicated to imaging function in the injured human brain using Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance.
