Hunor Kertész

Hunor Kertész is a Research Fellow at the University of Sydney's Image X Institute, affiliated with the Discipline of Medical Imaging Sciences in the School of Health Sciences. His research focuses on advancing medical imaging technologies, particularly in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT (Computed Tomography) systems, with an emphasis on improving image quality, reducing radiation exposure, and developing novel imaging tools.

His work spans several key areas: optimizing positron range correction in PET/CT for cardiac and oncology applications, exploring low-dose imaging techniques for pediatric patients, and creating open-source software tools like Dvgardener for medical image processing. He has contributed to the development of anthropomorphic phantoms for clinical simulations and portable CT systems for lung cancer screening.

Recent publications highlight advancements in PET/MRI dose reduction for epilepsy patients, high-resolution total-body PET/CT through positron range correction, and the validation of Rubidium-82 myocardial imaging methods. His research often intersects with radiation dosimetry, image reconstruction algorithms, and 3D-printed anatomical models for quality assurance.

While not explicitly mentioned, his contributions likely involve collaborations with clinical teams to translate imaging innovations into practical diagnostic solutions.
