SPECT and PET Imaging Lab (SPIL)

SPECT and PET Imaging Lab (SPIL) is dedicated to advancing patient care through the development and validation of cutting-edge radionuclide imaging technologies for SPECT and PET. By harnessing the power of deep learning, we aim to address key limitations of PET and SPECT imaging—such as low spatial resolution and slow data acquisition—to significantly enhance diagnostic capabilities.

Our missions are:

  • We work as one team, united as a research family.
  • We pursue both intellectual and spiritual growth, finding joy in the research process.
  • We show respect to all team members and collaborators.
  • We communiate clearly, accurately, and effectively.
  • We develop advanced imaging technologies to improve patient care.
  • We rigorously validate our technologies quantitatively and qualitatively.
  • We translate our research into clinical practice by commercializing our technologies.
