Research Interest
Developing different types of high-resolution insert devices for clinical whole-body PET/CT scanners to allow zoom-in imaging of organs of interest. These novel devices will overcome the current resolution limit in human PET imaging. Immediate applications include high-resolution PET/CT imaging of brain tumors, head and neck cancer and breast cancer (including internal and axillary lymph nodes).
