Imaging

• Prof Ashraf Ayoub - expertise in 3D facial capture and analyse of 3D facial morphology.  The clinical application has been widely applied in the field of cleft lip and palate, craniofacial deformities, aesthetic surgery as well as facial trauma.
• Richard Bates - expert in the design and realisation of silicon detectors and detector systems for photon and particle detection and imaging. A track record in building silicon sensors and systems for particle physics and in the development of new technologies for many science grade imaging requirements (including CMOS APS sensors and hybrid pixel photon detectors)
• Dr Sylvie Coupaud is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Biomedical Engineering who is using peripheral Quantitive Computed Tomography (pQCT) to qualify the musculoskeletal changes that occur after spinal cord injury and in reponse to rehabilitation interventions.
• Prof David Cumming – Developing Thz imaging technologies with applications in medical and security imaging.
• Dr Gerry Gillen - In depth knowledge of fundamental physical principles underlying  SPETC-CT and PET-CT imaging systems.
• Prof Charlie Ironside - developing highly sensitive magnetometers that operate at room temperature to replace the cryogenic SQUID magnetometers that are currently used in brain and heart imaging Magnetocardiography (MCG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
• Dr Damien McGrouther, Prof. J. Loos, Kelvin Nanocharacterisation Centre
  Expert in 3D imaging of materials and features of material stucture in the length range from micrometres to nanometres. Using electron and ion microscopies, materials visualised in 3D have included, polymer composites, ceramics & semiconductor devices.
• Dr Jonathan Owens - Molecular Imaging Development Manager for University of Glasgow.  Expertise in the design, development, manufacture and the use of novel radiopharmaceuticals for use in preclinical and clinical studies.
• Dr Sally Pimlott - principal SPECT radiochemist in the research and development radiopharmaceutical group, based at the Radionuclide Dispensary, Western Infirmary, Glasgow.   The group’s research is focused on the development of novel molecular imaging agents.
• Dr FW Poon – based within the PET (positron emission tomography) centre. Part of the scanning time is being put aside for basic science and clinical research. Our research interests include oncology, neurology and cardiology.
• Dr Bjoern Seitz - expert in the use and application of fast photon detectors and scintillators as well as in the simulation and analysis of large data samples and the interaction of radiation with matter. This enables the provision of technical expertise, advice and development capabilities in established and novel imaging areas, either using radionuclide based technologies or single photon fluorescent imaging.
• Dr Andrew Sutherland - design and synthesis of organic molecules that can be used as molecular imaging agents for a wide range of imaging modalities. As well as developing standard synthetic routes, we also have significant expertise in asymmetric chemistry.
• Prof Val O’Shea - imaging and spectroscopy of ionising radiation of all types. Developing the technique of ‘colour’ x-ray imaging with a detector system that is sensitive to the energy of the photons used to form the image.
