OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography (dPET) is a functional imaging technique that can be used to measure the time course of a radiotracer within certain regions of a patient. This is potentially useful in Oncology because certain aspects of tumour function are more directly related to the rate of change of tracer uptake, rather than the uptake at any one time point. dPET is limited by the low number of counts in each frame, leading to a poor signal to noise ratio in the final images. In this talk, the possibility of addressing this issue using a range of advanced image reconstruction techniques, designed specifically to suppress noise, is discussed
