Linkage Projects - Grant ID: LP100200280

Funded Activity Summary

Integrated multi-level interpretation and its applications for intelligent multimodality biomedical image navigation, retrieval and tracking. The 64- and 128-slice positron emission tomography – computed tomography (PET-CT) devices at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital were the first in the country. These scanners, with the medical cyclotron and radiochemistry facilities, represent an investment of over A$13 million. This project will address pressing issues in optimising the utilisation of the information and systems to provide better service to patients and referring clinicians. This research will add considerable value to Australia's medical imaging infrastructure and healthcare delivery; and advance scientific research in better understanding of system biology, physiology and pathology. The research outcomes will strengthen Australia’s leading position in biomedical information technology research and Australian medical imaging expertise.
