The University of Texas at Austin received a $618,695 Project Grant award from 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 award, issued April 20, 2026, funds a three-year feasibility effort concluding March 31, 2029, to develop an adaptive and reconfigurable robot-assisted Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system designed to optimize imaging acquisitions by personalizing the imaging process for individual patients. The project delivers three primary deliverables: (1) a dedicated lightweight gamma camera incorporating solid-state detector arrays and a customized 3D-printed collimator offering high sensitivity and spectroscopic performance suitable for robotic manipulation; (2) advanced optimization algorithms and joint tomographic image reconstruction methodologies that determine optimal camera positions and scanning trajectories tailored to each patient and imaging task; and (3) integration of the gamma camera with a highly articulated robotic manipulator arm enabling adaptive positioning and movement. The adaptive SPECT system is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy and imaging performance while reducing scan times and radiation dose exposure to patients compared to conventional fixed-geometry imaging approaches.Federal Grant Award Summary
