Research Interest
Our lab focuses on MRI-guided radiation therapy, metabolic imaging, pulse sequence design, and MR image reconstruction techniques. We are developing methods for an innovative treatment device called the MR-Linac, which integrates non-invasive MRI with external beam radiation therapy. We collaborate extensively with other labs, clinicians, and clinician scientists.
