Improved theranostic SPECT reconstruction for radionuclide therapy dosimetry

This work was to develop a reconstruction method for theranostic dosimetry by improving the spatial resolution and noise properties of reconstructed SPECT images (SPECTRE). Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is commonly used to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to target structures and normal organs in radionuclide therapy (RNT). But Read more…

Long Axial Field of View Positron Emission Tomography

Researchers and patients alike are benefiting from a new imaging technology called ‘Long Axial Field of View (FOV) Positron Emission Tomography’, also known as ‘Total-Body PET (TB-PET)’. This technology advance enables molecular imaging studies to be performed at ultrahigh sensitivity, i.e. an order of magnitude or more higher sensitivity than Read more…

The first NMR biological image?

Part 3: When asked about when he first thought up his NMR technique, he said that it was long before his breakthrough work at Stony Brook University. It was whilst having an eat-out dinner as a student researcher. He was studying then at the University of Pittsburgh and Mellon Institute of Industrial Read more…
