As an early user of total-body PET scanners, Dr. Spencer has a wealth of expertise in this field. Specifically, his research focus is on long-axial field-of-view scanner research use and the necessary quality control and quality assurance protocols needed to ensure these state-of-the-art systems are operating with the highest degree of accuracy and reliability for all total-body PET research studies. Furthermore, Dr. Spencer's research involves setting a new standard for fully characterizing all long-axial field-of-view and total-body PET scanners, an effort Dr. Spencer leads in collaboration with several national and international collaborators: UPenn (Pennsylvania, US), St. Jude's Children's Hospital (Tennessee, US), University of Bologna (Bologna, Italy), and University of Bern (Bern, Switzerland).
