Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pharmacokinetics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • MicroPET studies require careful selection of numerous interdependent experimental parameters.
  • Optimizing these parameters for MicroPET studies is complex and challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated software system, the Kinetic Imaging System (KIS), to assist in planning, design, and data analysis of MicroPET studies.
  • To provide a user-friendly platform for education, virtual experimentation, and image analysis of MicroPET data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Kinetic Imaging System (KIS) with four modules: Dictionary, Virtual Experimentation, Image Analysis, and Model Fitting.
  • KIS integrates didactic information, computer simulations using a 3D digital mouse phantom, image manipulation, and model-fitting capabilities.
