Next Friday, 5th of February, Professor Stefaan Vandenberghe, from Medical Image and signal processing (MEDISIP), Ghent University, Belgium, will visit IBEB and give us a seminar. This seminar will take place at IBEB’s Seminar Room at 10AM. You are all invited to participate.
Abstract:
The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been an ongoing research topic for the last 20 years. This talk gives an overview of the different developments and the technical problems associated with combining PET and MRI in one system. After explaining the different detector concepts for integrating PET-MRI and minimizing interference the limitations and advantages of different solutions for the detector and system are described for preclinical and clinical imaging systems. The different integrated PET-MRI systems are described in detail. Besides detector concepts and system integration the challenges and proposed solutions for attenuation correction and the potential for motion correction and resolution recovery are also discussed.
