Congratulations to Liam Carroll, PhD student at the EngerLab for being featured in physicsworld.com for his recent publication titled “Simulation of a novel, non-invasive radiation detector to measure the arterial input function for dynamic positron emission tomography”. The aim of this study was to (A) optimize the geometry for a novel and cost efficient non-invasive detector designed to measure the arterial input function (AIF) for dynamic positron emission tomography scans through Monte Carlo simulations and (B) develop a clinical data analysis chain to successfully separate the arterial component of a simulated AIF signal from the venous component.
