       Overview 
       Overview
      I head a group of physicists and engineers working in the field of radionuclide and x-ray imaging instrumentation and physics. Our focus is primarily on quantitative SPECT/CT and PET/CT molecular imaging with a broad range of research interests from small animal imaging using dedicated animal imaging systems to physics analysis of clinical research data. We are also very active in basic radionuclide and x-ray imaging instrumentation development research. Please visit our laboratory webpage to learn more about the current projects.

      I also direct the preclinical PET/SPECT/CT/Optical imaging core facility. If you are interested in using our core facility, or establishing a collaboration, please visit the core webpage, or contact me.
