Research Abstract

Our group has a strong focus on using the most advanced MRI techniques to assess tumor response to a variety of treatments. We have employed novel techniques to assess tumor perfusion and metabolism. We continue to develop new techniques to assess tumor response to assist in clinical trials and experimental cancer models. Our latest efforts focus on molecular imaging and adaptations to the MR environment.
