Physics of molecular imaging and nuclear medicine

This theme group develops new imaging devices and associated image reconstruction algorithms for emission and transmission tomography. Examples of basic research subjects include

Molecular imaging devices (in vivo nuclear microscopy and micro-SPECT);
Development of ultra-high resolution gamma cameras;
The development of pinhole, cone- and fan-beam SPECT imaging geometries and combined transmission CT and SPECT imaging systems;
Development of statistical image reconstruction algorithms for multi-slice X-ray CT and SPECT;
Modeling and simulation of SPECT and X-ray CT systems;

Specific clinical projects are quantitative Single and Dual Isotope SPECT for cardiac perfusion imaging, brain imaging and tumor imaging.

Below a list of people in the group is given, and an overview of current research projects.
