Graduate Student Fellowships 2010/2011
Professor Craig Levin (Radiology)
Alex is working on novel technology for improving PET (positron emission tomography) system performance. PET allows non-invasive cellular and molecular assays of a subject’s tissues and is widely used for cancer diagnosis and staging. His project involves using nanophotonic crystals to optically process PET signals in order to achieve faster system response times and eliminate costly processing electronics.
This work has the potential to increase PET image signal-to-noise ratio, enabling significant improvements in disease visualization and quantification. |
