    Collapse Overview
    Jaewon Yang, PhD, is an Associate Specialist in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Yang's particular research interest is to develop practical and robust imaging techniques for quantitative PET and SPECT, providing a solution for the unmet needs of the current nuclear imaging systems.

    Dr. Yang has extensively experienced quantitative data analysis using PET/MR data, developing PET quantitative imaging techniques readily applicable to daily clinics for attenuation correction and motion management.

    Recently, he has completed the initial investigation of a direct image-to-image deep learning (DL) solution for simultaneous correction of attenuation and scatter in quantitative PET imaging. He continues to develop and validate the DL solution for clinical applications in commercial scanners that need practical and robust methods for quantitative PET and SPECT imaging.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
