Announcements Congratulations to Xuezhu Zhang for receiving the Henry N. Wagner Jr. Best Paper Award, and to Edwin Leung for his 1st place poster in the Physics, Instrumentation & Data Sciences Track! Xuezhu's abstract, titled "Total-Body Parametric Imaging using Kernel and Direct Reconstruction on the uEXPLORER", was singularly chosen out of thousands of abstracts submitted to the SNMMI meeting. Edwin's poster, titled "Relationships between noise-equivalent count rates for extended NEMA NU 2-like scatter phantoms and a human subject scanned using the EXPLORER total-body PET scanner" won first place in the Physics, Instrumentation & Data Sciences Track. Congratulations again to Xuezhu, Edwin, and the MIPET group! (Davis attendees pictured below, on the left) |

Academic Year-End BMEGG Barbecue |

For the June work-in-progress talk, Dr. Randy Carney gave a summary of his lab's scope. Thank you to the BESA social chairs, Hark and Brent, for hosting the event, and to Dr. Carney for an exciting presentation. *Note: We are currently working on changing the format of these monthly student-faculty events, perhaps to something more interactive. Be on the lookout for updates on this, and let us know if you have any ideas. |
