Welcome to Qi Lab
Our research focuses on advancing imaging sciences through computational methods. Currently we have two focused areas. The first one is in the area of PET/CT imaging, where we have developed innovative methods for high-resolution image reconstruction, dynamic PET data analysis, and image quality evaluation for system optimization. Our methods have been applied to data acquired on various scanners, including the world's first 2-m EXPLORER PET/CT scanner and the NeuroExplorer next-generation Brain PET/CT scanner, and have been implemented on commercial systems by manufacturers. The second area is the application of AI/machine learning to medical imaging with the ultimate goal to integrate multi-modality data for clinical guidance. This work is part of the recently NIH-funded National Center for Interventional Biophotonics Technologies at UC Davis. Our work is mostly funded by the National Institutes of Health and industry.
