Recently, high-resolution small animal imaging systems have been developed to aid in the research of a number of diseases such as cancer. These high resolution imaging tools and applications allow researchers to screen small animals using non invasive techniques and applications for such tasks as detecting mutations, charting the progression of certain diseases, and monitoring how diseases respond to particular therapies. There are many advantages to using high resolution in vivo micro imaging systems in small animal research which makes them an invaluable tool in laboratory research.

Microcomputed Tomography high resolution imaging technique is proving to be a cost-effective method for detecting and describing tumors, abnormalities in skeletal structures, as well as soft-tissue structures in small live animals such as rodents. Using this form of high resolution imaging has been showing positive results in the research of lung cancer, prostate cancer, and bone tumors

Sony' First Tablet Computer .

Sony, a laggard in the booming tablet market, launched its first tablet computers in an ambitious attempt to grab the second spot in the market created and dominated by Apple's iPad.
The gadgets will use an operating system based on Google's Android 3.0, said Kunimasa Suzuki, deputy president of the consumer products and services group, as he unveiled one of the devices from his jacket pocket during a media launch on Tuesday.

The tablets called S1 and S2, are WiFi and 3G/4G compatible. One of the models will have two screens, Suzuki added. S1 has a 9.4-inch display while S2 has two 5.5-inch displays that can be folded. The tablets will allow use of PlayStation games.

Sales of tablet devices are expected to quadruple to about 294 million units between 2011 and 2015, with almost half that Android-based, research firm Gartner has forecast.

Suzuki raised eyebrows in January when he told reporters at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that Sony was aiming for the No.2 spot in the tablet market within a year even though it had yet to put a product on the market.

The company has emphasized the need to differentiate its tablet from rivals, even if that takes time.

"Although it's a late comer in the market, it has potential as what you need is just one big uniqueness that can sell to customers be it design or whatever," said Lee Sun-tae, an analyst at Meritz Securities in Seoul.

"By the same token it can be just one of another Android phones flooding the market amid intensifying competition."

In a bid to tap that burgeoning demand, competitors including Samsung Electronics -- whose Galaxy Tab is Apple's strongest competitor in the tablet market -- and Motorola, LG Electronics and HTC are flooding the market with tablets running Android.
