UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Photon-counting CT scanning is the next-generation of computer tomography diagnostics, providing precise, multi-color imaging to simultaneously track biological processes. The Laboratory for Materials in Medicine, led by Dipanjan Pan, the Dorothy Foehr Huck & J. Lloyd Huck Chair Professor in Nanomedicine and professor of materials science and engineering and of nuclear engineering at Penn State, is advancing the imaging capabilities by developing contrast agents to target specific molecules and processes that may reveal more about disease progression than traditional scans.
In this video, Pan and his team discuss the technology, their efforts to develop medical applications and ongoing collaborative efforts across Penn State. More information on their work may be in a review paper the team recently published in ACS Nano.
