Nuclear Medicine Imaging Sciences

The goal of research in nuclear medicine imaging sciences is to advance functional imaging technologies to non-invasively image and quantify the spatiotemporal distribution of physiological, cellular and molecular events and processes for biomedical, biological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pharmaceutical applications.

• radiation detector and signal processing
• imaging systems, including PET, SPECT, and Gamma Camera
• PET & SPECT methodology, data processing and analysis
• three dimensional image reconstruction for PET, SPECT and CT
• multi-modality imaging, e.g. PET/CT and PET/SPECT
• small animal imaging (In vivo Biodistribution)

• query by image search of medical imaging databases
  
• medical Imaging Informatics
• physiological parameter estimates, (i.e. Blood Flow, Binding Potentials, etc.)
• noise reduction methods
• statistical analysis of imaging studies.
• computer aided diagnostics
