Innovative concepts for PET-MR imaging of brain function and brain-gut interactions KU Leuven
PET imaging is extremely useful in the early phase of drug development as changes in intensity of the PET signal can quantitatively reflect dynamic target occupancy by drugs. In this way, PET imaging can be used to optimize the dose regimes of new drugs such that specific levels of target occupancy are achieved, and efficacy is improved in later phase clinical trials. The current project focusses on validating new PET radiotracers as ...

Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance scanner Ghent University
This project aims to design and develop the block detectors for a whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanning prototype with unique attributes and compatibility for simultaneous magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition. This project will use MR compatible detectors (SiPMs), which have superior abilities than current commercial PET scanners at a reduced size and reduced cost.
HyCT Ghent University
This IOF consortium consists of a number of UGent research groups working on several CT techniques (X-ray micro/nanoCT, CAT, SPECT, PET, MR, microwave, XRF) and a number of supporting research groups (providing support on CT image processing, electronics, radioactive tracers and animal models). The overall research domain of the main groups in the consortium is that of non-destructive imaging for in- and ex-vivo applications. In itself, this ...
