Awards and Honors: October 1, 2009

Arundhuti Ganguly, PhD, research associate in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory (RSL), received an NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award for her research proposal entitled "High Performance CMOS Based X-Ray Detector for C-Arm CT Imaging." The objective of this award is to "prepare qualified individuals for careers that have a significant impact on health-related research." Her proposal aims to improve image-guided interventions for the treatment of stroke by using a novel solid-state X-ray detector, which is based on CMOS technology that will allow faster imaging at an increased resolution. Dr. Ganguly plans to use the detector in conjunction with a conventional angiographic C-arm system to provide high frame rate projection images as well as 3D image volumes. Beginning in June of 2009, this grant will enable Dr. Ganguly to complete two years of mentored research with Professor Rebecca Fahrig, followed by three years of independent research.
