Dear all

Next Monday (not Tuesday!) we will have 2 seminars:

- Chi Liu (Yale): Quantitative PET/CT and SPECT/CT in cardiac and oncological imaging

- Ottavia Bertolli (UCL): Data-Driven Respiratory Gating in PET: Challenges and Solutions

Location is to be confirmed, start will be at 5pm.

CVs:

Chi Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Biomedical Engineering of Yale University. He received his Ph.D. in 2008 from Johns Hopkins University with emphasis on quantitative SPECT/CT imaging. Following his graduate work, he was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Washington, specializing in oncological PET/CT studies with emphasis on compensation algorithms for respiratory motion. In 2010, he joined Yale University as a faculty member. He is board certified in Nuclear Medicine physics and instrumentation by the American Board of Science in Nuclear Medicine. His current research focuses on quantitative cardiac and oncological PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging. In 2012, he was awarded with the Bruce Hasegawa Young Investigator Medical Imaging Science Award from the IEEE Nuclear Medical and Imaging Sciences Council for "contributions to the imaging physics of SPECT/CT and PET/CT, with emphasis in quantitative imaging and motion correction". Currently, he is the PI of multiple ongoing grants from NIH, American Heart Association, and industry.

Ottavia Bertolli is a PhD student at INM, UCL.
