Emission Tomography Imaging Laboratory
Overview
Biomedical imaging is one of the fastest growing areas in both engineering and medicine. The Emission Tomography Imaging Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati works toward enhancing quantitative measurement of physiological and biochemical processes in human and animals through developing innovative imaging techniques. The goal of our research is to provide evidence to understand and treat human diseases.
The research in our lab is highly interdisciplinary and we have built up collaborations with experts in the fields of signal processing, applied mathematics, medical physics, and medicine within and outside of UC. We currently focus on developing PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MR image reconstruction, evaluation, and analysis techniques.
