PhD Opportunities in Medical Imaging in Japan

This PhD project is about inverse problems for biomedical images , with a specific focus on mammography and breast cancer risk assessment . The research aims to improve the analysis of X-ray mammograms by developing denoising methods that preserve the fine structural properties of mammographic textures, especially the self-similarity and fractal characteristics that can reveal patterns linked to cancer risk. The thesis is rooted in the challenge that risk-related parenchymal patterns can be diff...

The University of Turku is recruiting a doctoral researcher at the Turku PET Centre in Finland through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PREFERENCE Doctoral Network.

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Space is offering a PhD project focused on the development of advanced radiofrequency detectors and antennas for next-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI scanners typically use radiofrequency detectors to image hydrogen in water molecules. This project aims to extend MRI to other nuclei by developing a broadband, multinuclear detector array capable of covering the frequencies of multiple nuclei. The intended outcome is a detector system suit...
