Computer
Tomography, or CT, is an essential modality in clinical radiology,
and it plays a big role in our research program as well. Under
the Center
for Gamma-ray Imaging, we design and build innovative CT systems
for small-animal studies. The latest of these, called FaCT, is
a high-resolution, cone-beam, helical- |

|
scan
system designed to be used with our FastSPECT II gamma-ray imaging
tomograph. It can be used in an adaptive imaging mode where the
CT data are used to control the data acquisition by the gamma-ray
imager. Such dual-modality small-animal systems provide us with
unique capabilities for preclinical studies and drug development
and evaluation. Research performed with clinical CT systems includes
virtual colonoscopy and analysis of tumor volumes |

- Description
- The major goals of this project are to
develop a rigorous theoretical and experimental
framework for objective assessment of image
quality and to apply it to the development
and optimization of reconstruction algorithms
and imaging systems for single-photon emission
computed tomography.
