This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) provides $2,000,000 to upgrade the University of Iowa's current CT scanner to a Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha photon-counting CT scanner. The new scanner will eliminate beam hardening artifacts and reduce electronic noise, while improving spatial resolution and enabling multi-material separation for enhanced ventilation and perfusion imaging. The University of Iowa plans to utilize the upgraded scanner for 9 major research projects focused on developing new phenotypes for lung diseases like COPD, asthma, IPF, and Long COVID, as well as investigating other lung pathologies. The advanced capabilities of the new scanner are expected to advance quantitative CT imaging and enable further reductions in radiation dose and contrast agent usage. The award period runs from August 2024 to November 2025.
