Graduate Student Fellowships 2007/2008
Profs. Craig Levin (Radiology) and Mark Horowitz (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science)
Frances is developing an ultra-high resolution Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system dedicated to breast cancer imaging. PET is a non-invasive, in-vivo, molecular imaging technology that has shown promise for early identification of breast cancer due to its ability to visualize biochemical changes in malignant tissue well before structural changes occur. She applies hardware design and signal integrity concepts to develop data acquisition electronics that read out and process the small signals detected. She is also using ideas from high speed data communication circuits to propose and design a novel integrated circuit for a future PET system. |
