The award funds the development of GPU-accelerated reverse Monte Carlo software to enhance SPECT imaging for cancer treatment dosimetry, improving accuracy and speed of simulations.
Description
This project will develop a new reverse Monte Carlo software for SPECT reconstruction, built from scratch in the GPU to speed up simulations. It aims to improve quantitative SPECT imaging for personalized dosimetry in radiopharmaceutical therapy by correcting physical factors that degrade image quality using Monte Carlo methods.
