Dear all

A PhD studentship (3.5 year funding) sponsored by GE Healthcare is available in the UCL Institute of Nuclear Medicine (INM) in collaboration with the UCL Centre for Medical Imaging Computing (CMIC). The funding covers an annual stipend and tuition fees at the rate for UK and EEA nationals.

PET/CT scanners combine Positron Emission Tomography with X-rays to provide functional and anatomic images of the patient. The aim of this project is to combine the latest techniques on data-driven gating, image registration, motion modelling and image reconstruction to enable a workflow that is transparent to the patient and technicians while obtaining PET/CT images corrected for respiratory motion and are automatically aligned between the two modalities. This project will run in close interaction with GE Healthcare, and is part of a wider collaboration between UCL and GE in improved quantification for PET/CT. More details are in the attached PDF.

Feel free to forward this information and my apologies for cross-posting.

Kind regards
