Advances in computed tomography (CT) have facilitated wider utilization and introduction of new clinical applications associated with high patient radiation dose. Subsequently, there is increasing concern for the potential long term cancer induction risks associated with increasing CT utilization bparticularly in younger women. Therefore, there is an urgent requirement to establish diagnostic CT protocols […]

The aim of this grant proposal is to address the challenges with current CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) utilization with a comprehensive series of interrelated but well-defined research themes. This non-invasive technique has facilitated in the detection of significant coronary artery disease and vulnerable plaque. However, the quality is limited to the physicality of the patients […]

We aim to optimize advanced Computed Tomography (CT) imaging to provide non-invasive and accurate assessment of early lung fibrosis. Lung fibrosis causes inflammation and scarring of lung tissue and can be progressive, even fatal. Currently, detection of lung fibrosis relies on relatively insensitive tests, such as pulmonary function tests and static lung CT. Alternately, microscopic […]
