Employing the latest cyberinfrastructure and computational techniques, TIER provides tomographic medical images of unmatched quality; it thus enhances the detection and monitoring capability of malignant tumours, of cardiac and neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson’s). Leveraging know-how from nuclear physics and complex data processing, TIER enables medical centres to obtain superior quality tomographic images by post-processing data already obtained by their scanners (e.g. PET, SPECT, MRI) and/or reduce dosage of radiopharmaceuticals in appropriately redefined scanning protocols.
