CRC 656 B06 - Development of a multimodal high-resolution small animal PET based on multi-wire proportional counters
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/07/2009 - 30/06/2013 | 1st Funding period
Description
In this project we aim for improving small animal PET technology based on multi-wire proportional counters (MWPC). We plan to develop prototype MWPC detectors and appropriate converters to advance the spatial resolution and efficiency of existing detectors. Furthermore, we will develop a multimodal quadHIDAC imaging technology in conjunction with small animal CT. As an important goal, we will work on calibration and data correction methods for improving absolute quantitative imaging based on MWPC technology.
