This project provides practical training in medical imaging instrumentation, data acquisition, and image formation in the modalities of positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The principal investigator (PI) will obtain this training by spending a sabbatical year in the Department of Radiology at Emory University School of Medicine. The training provided will equip the PI with new research tools and information that will lead to new mathematical models and algorithms for image formation, enhancement, and analysis. Of particular importance is the development of correct models for errors in data obtained in a clinical setting from these modalities. In addition to the training received, this grant will result in the formation of large databases of data obtained from real PET, SPECT, and MRI machines. This data will be taken to the PI's home institution and used to analyze various methods of image reconstruction, and enhancement. New mathematics courses and educational materials in medical imaging will also be developed. Furthermore, the research capabilities of the PI will be expanded to include collaboration with radiologists on practical problems they face in these imaging modalities. This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).

该项目提供正电子发射断层扫描（PET）、单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）和磁共振成像（MRI）形式的医学成像仪器、数据采集和图像形成方面的实践培训。主要研究者（PI）将通过在Emory University School of Medicine放射科休假一年来获得该培训。 所提供的培训将使PI具备新的研究工具和信息，这些工具和信息将导致新的数学模型和算法用于图像形成，增强和分析。 特别重要的是正确的模型，在临床环境中从这些模式获得的数据中的错误的发展。 除了接受培训外，该补助金将导致形成从真实的PET、SPECT和MRI机器获得的数据的大型数据库。 这些数据将被带到PI的家庭机构，并用于分析各种图像重建和增强方法。新的数学课程和 还将编制医疗成像方面的教育材料。 此外，PI的研究能力将扩大到包括与放射科医生合作，解决他们在这些成像模式中面临的实际问题。 该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。
