Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Optics
Algorithm
Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of investigation include Optics, Image resolution, Scanner, Detector and Positron emission tomography. His research investigates the connection between Image resolution and topics such as Sensitivity that intersect with issues in Point source and Particle detector. His studies deal with areas such as Imaging phantom and Iterative reconstruction as well as Scanner.

His Imaging phantom research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Line source, Computer vision and Artificial intelligence. His research in the fields of Photomultiplier overlaps with other disciplines such as Coincidence. His Positron emission tomography study deals with the bigger picture of Nuclear medicine.

His most cited work include:

Benefit of Time-of-Flight in PET: Experimental and Clinical Results (463 citations)
Treatment of Axial Data in Three-Dimensional PET (329 citations)
Continuous-slice PENN-PET: a positron tomograph with volume imaging capability. (235 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Optics, Detector, Scanner, Image resolution and Photomultiplier. His Optics research focuses on subjects like Positron emission tomography, which are linked to Attenuation. In general Detector study, his work on Particle detector often relates to the realm of Coincidence, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Scanner research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pixel, Imaging phantom, Nuclear medicine, Point source and Iterative reconstruction. Gerd Muehllehner works mostly in the field of Imaging phantom, limiting it down to topics relating to Image quality and, in certain cases, Biomedical engineering and Field of view, as a part of the same area of interest. His Image resolution research incorporates themes from Reconstruction algorithm, Tomography and Sensitivity.
