Looking at and Listening to Light: New Ways to Detect Tumors, Guide Cancer Therapies, Probe Inflammations, and Map Brain Actitities

The Department of Medical Imaging, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research, and Biomedical Engineering are pleased to have Huabei Jiang, MD, presenting at a joint Grand Rounds on Wednesday, May 4th, in the COM, Room 2117 at 12:00 pm.

Dr. Huabei Jiang will describe the fundamental principles of several emerging optical-based imaging modalities including diffuse optical tomography (DOT), fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT) for in vivo visualization of tissue at both the macroscopic and microscopic scales. In his laboratory, these imaging technologies have been developed to detect tumors, guide cancer therapies, probe inflammations, or map brain activities. He will report on the most recent clinical and preclinical studies in some of these areas.
