Research projects
The purpose of research is to develop and validate a novel system for quantitative assessment of multi-organ tissue-perfusion using a dedicated cyclotron-produced, short-lived nuclei of 15O and PET for non-invasive human and small animal studies. This system is to overcome organ-specific problems. The goal is to establish a standard package for quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion, involving ICT-based multi-modality image processing techniques.
