West Virginia University researcher Raymond Raylman has developed a new technology to improve the treatment of head and neck cancers. The scanner that he and his team prototyped — which combines positron emission tomography and X-ray computed tomography — showed promising results in recent preclinical testing of its performance. In the future, the scanner may lead to equally promising results in clinical testing.
 During the first full week of April each year, the American Public Health Association brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation's health.
The West Virginia University School of Public Health, an APHA member, encourages everyone to participate throughout the week as the school recognizes its community partners and elevates important issues shaped by NPHW's daily themes, including: community; violence prevention; reproductive and sexual health; and mental health.
All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
