Toronto: Ah, The Devil in the Details

CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2010-05-05 Conference Coverage At the 4th Human Amyloid Imaging Conference held on 9 April 2010 in Toronto, several themes generated intense discussion. On the technical side, the question kept cropping up of what is the right reference region to use in amyloid imag
