Medical & Gamma Imaging

Three sponsored projects across eleven years trace a single arc: take an imaging modality that lived in a shielded room on a hospital's ground floor, and put it in a surgeon's hand. The work moved from upgrading an existing planar gamma camera, to designing a small-organ imaging system from first principles, to a dual-modality probe used live during cancer surgery.

Modification of a planar gamma camera and its upgradation for supporting education, training and research in medical imaging

The foundation. Rebuilding and upgrading a planar gamma camera created both a teaching instrument and the hands-on detector knowledge that every later project was built on.
