Background
Research interests include advanced medical imaging technologies and developing image analysis software in the field of oncology, particularly to enhance cancer diagnosis through Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). His research spans from basic research to clinical validation of CAD systems. Major clinical applications include CT colonography, breast and prostate MRI. He is currently the PI of the world's largest RCT on screening with CT colonography (over 35,000 invitees).
