Scientific Articles by the Team

PUBLICATIONS FROM THE LABORATORY OF BIOPHYSICS AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE OF THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE AND THE MONTPELLIER UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

The research topics of the biophysics and nuclear medicine team at the Faculty of Medicine and the Montpellier University Hospital Center focus on functional and metabolic imaging techniques. They address all aspects of these techniques, from the most fundamental to clinical studies, including the development of protocols for acquiring and analyzing data that can be used in routine hospital practice.

The publications listed below were produced by the university hospital staff of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Montpellier University Hospital. They are organized by research topic and then by publication date, starting with the most recent publications. A link provides direct access to the abstracts of these articles. The topics covered are as follows:

Cardiovascular SPECT and PET

Neurological functional imaging

Oncological SPECT and PET

SPECT and PET: Miscellaneous

SPECT and PET tomographic reconstruction algorithms

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

Pharmacological models and miscellaneous

Physics and Biophysics
