Trainees are encouraged to participate in and present research at various national and international conferences. In addition, research opportunities in the use of experimental PET radiopharmaceuticals in novel cancer therapy trials and the role of PET-CT and imaging biomarkers for early cancer therapy response assessment are available. Below are selected publications from our residents and faculty from 2010–2014.
