Research Focus
Dr. Chi Liu's lab at Yale University is focused on enhancing the accuracy and reliability of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging through innovative deep learning techniques. By addressing the issue of high image noise in PET scans, the lab aims to develop software that transforms standard clinical images into high-quality outputs, ultimately improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. The lab collaborates with top academic centers and industry leaders to ensure that their advancements can be effectively integrated into clinical practice.
