- RESEARCH GOAL OF FMISL
The research goal that we pursue is to develop the technologies with which we can acquire the biologically relevant and clinically useful information from human body and living animals. The current research interests of my laboratory included, but are not limited to, novel medical imaging systems, i.e. hybrid PET-MRI scanner, and advanced biomedical image analysis technologies. We are especially focusing on the radiotracer imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography (
PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (
SPECT).
