Medical imaging refers to techniques and processes used to create images of various parts of the human body for diagnostic and treatment purposes, includes various radiological imaging techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc. Goldan Lab in Stony Brook University is broadly interested in novel medical imaging technologies. The mission of Goldan Lab is to innovate medical imaging technologies for improving human health.
Technical Expertise: PET imaging, X-Ray imaging, Machine learning and neural networks, imaging/data analysis, etc.
Group Dynamics: Goldan lab’s research is translational and transdisciplinary. We collaborate closely with radiology scientists, electrical and computer scientists, biomedical scientists, and medical scientists.
Mentoring: Goldan lab places a strong emphasis on mentoring and career development, many of our trainees have become leaders in their fields. We also warmly welcome highly motivated graduate, undergraduate, high school students to join our research group.
Research Focuses:
PET Imaging: Goldan Lab’s PET team focuses on the researches of PET detector modules, interaction localization in PET detectors, Compton recovery of DOI PET, conformal brain/whole-body PET scanners, etc. For more information about the PET team, please click here.
X-Ray Imaging: Goldan Lab’s X-Ray team focuses on solid-state selenium photomultipliers’ research, amorphous selenium as the avalanche transport layer for solution-processed semiconductors, etc. For more information about the X-Ray team, please click here.
