Advanced motion tracking for motion-compensated positron emission tomography

Summary

Research location

Synopsis

The goal of this project is to design and optimise motion tracking capability for the MousePET scanner, a next-generation system for simultaneous brain imaging and behavioural analysis in freely moving rodents. Motion tracking is a crucial component of motion-corrected brain imaging and has particularly challenging specifications for this application. The MousePET system will be the first of its kind and will dramatically enhance the types of experiments exploring the relationship between brain function and behaviour in mammals.
