The Wang Lab at UC Davis Radiology aims to harness the power of dynamic imaging and tracer kinetic modeling to advance molecular imaging. We combine theoretical developments with clinical translation to create quantitative and multiparametric positron emission tomography (PET) methods, offering detailed insights into the molecular processes in vivo and across multiple organ systems. Our goal is to translate these quantitative PET techniques into meaningful clinical applications to address unmet needs, particularly in the noninvasive imaging and understanding of liver disease, cancer, heart disease, and other systemic disorders.
