Research Interests:My current research interests are the evaluation of a intra-operative hand-held gamma ray camera (Nuclear Imager) for the surgical staging of cancer, novel Positron Emission Tomography(PET) detectors, software for the simulation and design of PET data acquisition, and MR compatible PET block detectors. I have successfully developed a hand held gamma camera for clinical use. I am currently developing the detectors and hardware for a new PET/MR clinical scanner.
