Research Interests
- Functional imaging with positron emission tomography (PET), especially advanced technologies for:
- Multi-tracer PET tumor imaging to characterize multiple aspects of tumor physiology, e.g. glucose metabolism + blood flow + hypoxia + growth
- Multi-modality PET/CT and PET/MRI imaging, where high resolution anatomic imaging is coupled with functional PET to improve the resolution, quantitation, and descriptive value of the functional imaging information
- Statistical fully-3D tomographic image reconstruction algoriths with advanced physics and statistical modeling
