[02.02.2015] PhD in Tomographic image reconstruction in ETHZ
ETH Zurich, Institute for Particle Physics, PET group
For
the SAFIR project we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student
implementing and testing 4D tomographic image reconstruction
algorithms. The position will be open until filled. The SAFIR (Small
Animal Fast PET insert for MRI) project is developing a PET detector
insert for a commercial Bruker 70/30 pre-clinical MR system for dynamic
and truly simultaneous PET/MR imaging. The goal is reaching a temporal
resolution of ~5s or better, for tracking variations in tracer
concentration. More info can be found here.
[13.01.2015] PhD Studentship in correction of whole body PET data for motion induced confounds using coacquired motion fields
Following
the improvement of spatial resolution of clinical positron emission
tomography (PET) to 3 mm the main limiting factor hampering its further
advance is subject motion but developing motion correction techniques
for different types of motion is challenging. Possible solutions might
be offered by combining PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
systems. The use of MRI can provide independent estimation of the
subject motion to correct PET data. In this research project, the
student will combine PET and MRI to achieve motion correction, which
would be feasible to translate into clinical practice. The successful
candidate will join a collaborative effort between the Medical Physics
group at the University of Leeds and Imanova Ltd. a leading imaging
centre. The supervisory team consists of: Dr Harry Tsoumpas, Professor
David Buckley (Leeds) and Dr Will Hallett and Professor Roger Gunn
(Imanova).
