Each participant can voice their view relating to several questions such as the appropriateness of the research design, the statistics employed, the appropriateness of the controls that were used, etc. There might be an attempt to synthesize together the results of several papers, even if some of these results might first appear to contradict each other. Even if the results of the study are seen as valid, there might be a discussion of how useful the results are and if these results might lead to new research or to new applications. The purpose of MIPS Journal Club is to educate students, postdocs, residents and fellows while helping them become familiar with the advanced literature in the molecular imaging field. In addition, the MIPS Journal Club is expected to help improve the students' skills of understanding and debating current topics of active interest in the molecular imaging field. Article selection rules: Impact factor (IF): IF > 5 preferred (IF < 3 will automatically disqualify unless a sound reason is provided).
