CRC 656 B03 - Quantification in high-resolution dynamic PET-MR imaging for analysis of small structures

Basic data for this project

Type of projectSubproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster01/07/2005 - 30/06/2017 | 3rd Funding period

Description

The aim of this project is to provide methods and tools in high-resolution small animal PET for accurate quantitative data analysis. This includes the quantitative dynamic (4D) PET image acquisition and intelligent image segmentation methods for automated regions-of-interest definition. Furthermore we are concerned with partial volume correction methods to accurately measure tracer uptake in small structures and tracer kinetic modelling in small animal PET.
