I am designing and building an ultra-high resolution Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system dedicated to breast cancer imaging. PET is a non-invasive, in-vivo, molecular imaging technology that has shown promise for early and accurate identification of breast cancer due to its unique ability visualize increased biochemical changes in malignant tissue well before structural changes occur. My focus is on applying techniques from circuit design and signal integrity to develop data acquisition electronics that read out and process the small signals detected while meeting the demanding data rate and noise requirements. |
