This NIH-funded project at Yale University focuses on developing an advanced PET imaging system with significantly improved sensitivity and resolution for brain neurochemistry studies.
Description
The project aims to develop the next-generation NeuroEXPLORER (NX) PET system, which will have ten times greater sensitivity than current systems, enabling highly detailed in vivo imaging of neurochemistry in the human brain. The system will include advanced detector technology, motion correction algorithms, and novel imaging paradigms to expand the scope of brain PET protocols.
