Research

Image reconstruction problems in X-ray computed tomography and nuclear medicine

Current Research

My current research focusses on two main topics:
(i) development of new techniques for accurate X-ray CT imaging, specifically designed to handle limitations in data acquisition capabilties and/or achieve optimal use of radiation exposure
(ii) construction of an accurate mathematical phantom modelling the heart and its use for the development and evaluation of cardiac X-ray CT imaging techniques
