This Project Grant award, totaling $708,790, was provided by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The grant supports the development and optimization of a modular time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF PET) prototype scanner with flexible geometry, based on pixelated LYSO scintillators and novel integrated photosensors. The goal is...
This Project Grant award, valued at $597,766.00, is funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394). The University of Pennsylvania will develop novel methods to image two PET tracers with different molecular targets back-to-back in a single imaging session using a long-axial field-of-view PET scanner, the PennPET Explorer. The key objectives are: Develop protocols to image fluoroglutamine, a research radiotracer of...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $596,095 Project Grant under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to the University of Washington. The grant will support the development and validation of the Personalized Remote Radiation Tracking Portable Organ Dosimetry Device (PRRT PODD), a patient-friendly technology that enables personalization of 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy for neuroendocrine tumor patients. The project aims to design compact imaging detectors and software tools for...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 Cancer Research Manpower) provides $304,158 to the University of Washington to conduct research on quantitative imaging techniques to characterize tumor heterogeneity in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The primary goals are to identify tumor habitat signatures from pre-treatment multiparametric MRI that can help stratify TNBC patients and predict treatment outcomes. The research will involve retrospective...
