Research Overview
Dr. Fahey's research involves the application of SPECT and PET in pediatrics, the use of limited angle tomography in radiology and nuclear medicine and quantification in small animal imaging. His research goals include:
- Optimizating the application of PET in pediatrics.
- Developing more accurate dosimetric models in pediatric nuclear medicine.
- Improving reconstruction techniques for limited angle tomography.
- Improving quantitative techniques in small animal nuclear imaging.
