In dental imaging, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a widely used imaging modality for diagnosis and treatment planning. Small dental scanning units are the most popular due to their cost-effectiveness. However, these small systems have the limitation of a small field of view (FOV) as the source and detector move at a limited angle in a circular path.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines an Upper Palaeolithic infant skeleton, Le Mura 1, from Grotta delle Mura in Italy, using various scientific methods including palaeogenomics and dental analyses.
  • The remains, dated to approximately 17,320-16,910 cal BP, provide insights into the infant's development, health issues, and the mother's low mobility during pregnancy.
  • The findings suggest a notable population turnover in the region and a decrease in genetic variation from northern to southern Italy, enhancing our understanding of early human life and genetics at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum.

Background: The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for advancing diagnostic imaging capabilities. The METRICS project aims to develop cyclotron-driven production of Mn for PET/MRI imaging.

Results: Using the Cr(p,n)Mn reaction, we designed chromium metal targets via Spark Plasma Sintering and developed a separation procedure for isolating Mn.
