I have been involved in medical imaging for over 30 years and have done research work in technology development in CT, MRI, and optical imaging. I have applied these technologies in clinical and research applications including neurological imaging, body imaging, and cancer. The focus of my research is on development of new imaging technologies and their application in basic and applied clinical science. A current area of research in my laboratory is in the development of optical biopsy systems for cancer detection.
