February 2025 - Siqi Li Awarded NIH R03 Grant for Advancing Total-Body PET Parametric Imaging
Dr. Siqi Li, Assistant Project Scientist, Department of Radiology, has been awarded a two-year NIH/NIBIB R03 research grant as a Principal Investigator to explore the feasibility of Total-body PET Parametric Imaging using the Relative Patlak Plot. His work aims to refine quantitative imaging techniques that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of parametric PET imaging, paving the way for improved disease detection and monitoring.
Siqi’s method builds on his recent JNM paper, introducing a streamlined approach to total-body dynamic PET imaging that eliminates the need for early-time input functions, making it more practical for clinical applications. The project will be conducted at the UC Davis Department of Radiology, with funding totaling $161,000 for two years from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). This grant marks an exciting milestone in Siqi’s research career and represents a step forward in developing innovative PET imaging methods.
Congratulations, Siqi, on your first grant!
