Summary

  • Molecular Breast Imaging using Semiconductor-based gamma camera systems
    I'm working on the development of a new breast imaging method that utilizes small CZT detectors. I'm evaluating its use as an alternative to mammography in certain patient populations.
  • Quantitative nuclear cardiac imaging
    I'm looking at a variety of issues such as attenuation correction in myocardial perfusion imaging, semi-quantitative analysis of infarct size, measurement of LV and RV EF from gated SPECT blood-pool imaging.
  • Bone Densitometry
    I'm involved in a variety of projects utilizing DEXA and peripheral CT for assessment of bone density and morphology.
