Research Interest

The physics aspect of small animal functional imaging. Our department is equipped with a small animal PET camera capable of producing high-resolution images. Cancer diagnosis is performed with the use of metabolic, transport and receptor molecular probes labeled with various PET radio-nuclides. My research consists of evaluation and optimization of imaging techniques with nonstandard PET nuclides.
