Abstract:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important medical imaging modality that has been widely adopted for clinical applications and has begun to play critical roles in molecular and gene imaging with applications in biology, biomedical, diagnostic, therapeutic, pharmaceutical and drug development, etc. It is predicted that these imaging technologies will be and has already been in some areas a significant part of the 21st century medicine that focuses on the understanding of diseases for each individuals from the angle of biological molecules and cells, and tally the prevention and treatment with targeted therapy accordingly. This seminar will cover the following: 1) introduce the basic principles and applications of PET for clinical and pre-clinical applications; 2) emphasize the PET engineering and technology from physics and engineering aspects, in particular the personal experience in the development of first prototypes of microPET, simultaneous PET and MR imaging, and PET-SPECT dual-tracer imaging, etc.; 3) view the challenges and trends of PET technology developments and their future advancements with personal perspectives.
