The major goals of this funded U01 grant are:
1.) Develop a compact, portable, cost-effective, and upright brain PET scanner — known as Prism-PET — with ultra-high resolution, high sensitivity, motion compensation, and CT-less attenuation correction.
2.) Integrate the Prism-PET brain scanner with our ultra-high resolution electromagnetic motion tracking (EMMT) to eliminate motion artifacts.
3.) Perform clinical translation of supine Prism-PET/EMMT for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease using a second-generation tau radiotracer.
