Chien-Min Kao is a Professor at the University of Chicago, specializing in Medical Physics within the Department of Radiology. His research is focused on the development of novel detector technologies that enhance the functionality of positron emission tomography (PET) systems through improved data processing and image reconstruction techniques. Dr. Kao's lab has pioneered the use of waveform sampling PET detectors and has invented a voltage-based sampling method known as multi-voltage threshold (MVT) for effective PET data acquisition. He is actively involved in collaborative projects, including the PET/CT/SPECT facility at the BSD Integrated Small Animal Imaging Research Resource, and he works on applications of PET in biomedical research related to cancer and neurological diseases. His interests extend to the integration of artificial intelligence in multi-modality longitudinal studies to facilitate advancements in data analysis and discoveries in population studies.
