Article Featured from Stony Brook Radiology Researchers
A research article from the group of Prof. Paul Vaska and collaborators at Brookhaven National Lab and the University of Pennsylvania, was featured in the IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences. The group developed a novel compact PET scanner called VersaPET that achieves high-spatial resolution and is compatible with MRI. In this paper, they demonstrated the scanner can be used to measure blood levels of the PET radiotracer, improving the ability of PET to quantify biological processes in the body in a non-invasive way. This work helps pave the way for more accurate PET scans in research as well as clinical applications ranging from cancer to Alzheimer’s Disease.
