The Research Center Dresden-Rossendorf is going to install this year one of the first available whole-body PET/MRI systems.
Research will be focused on application of this system for quantitative functional imaging in oncology. One prerequisite is the establishment, evaluation, and validation of MRI-based approaches for correction of the attenuation of the PET annihilation radiation the during tissue passage .
The work of the PhD student will focus on evaluating and improving quantitative capabilities of the PET/MRI system.
Responsibilities:
----------------
- development and implementation of new methods for optimized MRI and
PET imaging
- implementation of methods for combined quantitative PET/MRI imaging
with a focus on PET methodology.
- mathematical modelling and development/implementation of new data
evaluation procedures and their use in ongoing preclinical and
clinical research projects
- evaluation of existing and development of new PET quantification
methods avoiding arterial blood sampling
for derivation of the arterial input function
- quantitative analysis of the combined PET/MRI investigations
- contribution to existing projects in application-oriented basic
research closely related to medical questions especially for oncology
- planning, realization and evaluation of acquisitions to evaluate the
manufacturer-based MRAC algorithm with help of phantom and patient
measurements.
Requirements:
------------
- good knowledge of the physics of positron emission tomography
and magnetic resonance imaging
- preferably experience in medical imaging with PET or MRI or in MRI
spectroscopy
- ability to quickly adapt to new tasks to acquire working knowledge
of all relevant topics
- good knowledge of mathematical modeling and simulation
- good programming skills and experience in development
of computer-based data evaluation methods
- willingness to cooperate in an interdisciplinary group of
biochemists, chemists, computer scientists, physicians, and
physicists in the PET center jointly run with the Technical
University Dresden
- ability to work problem-oriented and to develop and implement
innovative solutions
Application procedure:
