| Jeih-San Liow, Ph.D.
Dr. Liow received his BS in physics from National Tsing Hua University, and subsequently his MS in marine geophysics from National Taiwan University and PhD in geophysics from Georgia Institute of Technology. Upon graduating, he joined the PET group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and worked as a postdoctoral fellow. In 1989, Dr. Liow became a faculty member of Radiology Department at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Liow also held a joint appointmentas a PET physicist with the Minnesota VA Medical Center where he was responsible for the quality control of a PET scanner at the PET imaging Department. His early research focused on iterative reconstruction algorithms and he was awarded a NIH grant for his work. Lately, his interest has spread to the acquisition, processing and analysis of PET and MRI/fMRI data. This includes developing continuous and bolus O-15/O-14 water delivery system for brain activation studies, image alignment techniques, partial volume correction, MR non-uniformity correction and multivariate approaches for statistical analysis. Dr. Liow joined NIMH on September of 2001. His primary responsibility at the Molecular Imaging Brach (MIB) is to assist the development and implementation of acquisition and reconstruction software on the new ECAT HRRT PET scanner and the high-resolution animal PET scanner (ATLAS) for human and animal imaging. He will also be involved in developing data analytic strategies for PET, and some SPECT/MRI morphological studies. |
