SUMMARY:How mathematical\, physical and physiological modelling can improv
 e the resolution of Positron Emission Tomography? - Harry Tsoumpas (Univer
 sity of Leeds)

DESCRIPTION:The growing success of Positron Emission Tomography (PET)\ncom
 bined with X-ray computerised tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic\nresonance 
 imaging (PET/MR) has led to the evolution of molecular imaging modalities 
 that assist in improving diagnosis and staging of disease. Emerging PET im
 aging is used to drive patient therapy\, therefore high resolution and rel
 iable image quantification are important factors. Image reconstruction met
 hods have a key role in converting the measurement to a meaningful and acc
 urate representation of the molecular distribution. \nThis seminar will di
 scuss advanced reconstruction methods that are utilised to account for the
  complicated physics of the acquisition process and other factors in order
  to improve the imaging resolution and potentially quantitative\naccuracy.
