[Gate-users] Four year PhD student position in ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging

[Marlies Goorden - TNW]

Dear colleagues,

 

We are looking for a talented PhD student to work on the development of
new, ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging devices. For a short
description of our research, see the text below. More details can be
found in the attachment.

 

kind regards,

 

Marlies Goorden & Freek Beekman, Delft University of Technology

 

----------------------------------------------

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) visualize distributions of radio-labeled molecules that
characterize the (disease) state of tissues. Over the last years our
group has developed a completely new line of SPECT systems for small
laboratory animals with high spatial and temporal resolution. Key to
obtaining these ultra-high-resolutions is the application of advanced
multi-pinhole collimation, model-based image reconstruction and advanced
system optimization.

 

Our present research is focused on the development of next generation
radio-molecular imaging devices by i) developing high-resolution MR
compatible detectors and integrating these in novel system designs, ii)
developing SPECT systems with unique 511 keV imaging capabilities and
<0.25 mm resolution for SPECT tracers. The work will be carried out in
close collaboration with industry and with biomedical imaging labs.
