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.
Nuclear emission imaging technology
- 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)
Data Analysis and Algorithm Development (PET, SPECT, CT, and MRI)
- 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
