Sacramento, Calif.-based UC Davis Health’s department of radiology has been awarded a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to advance dual-energy imaging.
The innovation of interest, PET-enabled dual-energy CT, combines PET and CT technologies, allowing providers to “see not just where something is happening in the body, but also what it’s made of,” according to an Aug. 7 news release from the health system.
The imaging technique was invented in the lab of Guobao Wang, PhD, professor of radiology at UC Davis, the release said.
