Wesley Williams
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFirstly, a goal of mine is to fashion a novel scatter-based parameter for PET reconstruction algorithms to improve image resolution via determining a more detailed scatter/true ratio estimate via binning the photons that have scattered once, twice, and perhaps, many more times.
Secondly, AI drug discovery application towards radiotracers may quicken experimentation by determining the formulations worth trying. Moreover, it may be able to characterize efficacy (biodistribution) (self-update). -
