Professor in Radiology

Overview

  • Our QIAL lab advances quantitative imaging by designing novel CT systems, reconstruction algorithms, image analysis and applications, with a core strength in preclinical CT.
  • Current efforts center on spectral CT (dual-energy and photon-counting) with nanoparticle contrast agents for theranostics, multidimensional CT for challenging applications such as intracranial aneurysm, cardiac, and perfusion imaging, and modern reconstruction and image processing ( including deep learning).
  • In parallel, we lead co-clinical cancer imaging work; I served as PI of the U24 Duke Preclinical Research Resources for Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers within the NCI Co-Clinical Imaging Research Program (CIRP).
  • We are also building a virtual preclinical photon-counting CT platform for cancer studies to accelerate method development and translation.
