Biomedical Imaging
The research in Biomedical Imaging focuses on the development of new methodology for
image acquisition and processing, with the goal of establishing
new procedures for clinical diagnosis and therapy response monitoring.
The core technologies comprise magnetic resonance (MR), computed
tomography (CT), X-ray imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography
(PET), and ultrasound.
Penn is a world leader in developing methodologies to acquire, process and analyze images suited for deriving
quantitative information in the form of anatomic, functional and
physiologic parameters. Research and training take place in a multidisciplinary
environment involving applied physics, biophysics, engineering and
medicine,with applications
to the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, abdominal and neurologic
systems.
