Example of thesis project
Biomedical imaging with ultra-high resolution SPECT and PET
The BIgroup develops basic technologies and complete imaging systems that are able to track molecules and cells in living beings. The group has been highly successful in developing Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) systems for small animals that provide images of molecular processes in organs and tumors and of the animal’s anatomy with a world record spatial and temporal resolution. This gives many unique opportunities to develop new pharmaceuticals and biomarkers for treatment and diagnosis of e.g. cancer, brain and cardiac disease. We are currently also working on human scanners. Thesis projects can have strong experimental components or be more computer-programming oriented. An example is the speed up of image reconstruction by using a variable pixel size in the images or by artificial intelligence taken over some of the steps (deep learning based methods).
