Methodological Interests: Function and functional  inference, emission tomography, spatial analysis of heterogeneity, inverse problems, non-linear regularization,  outcomes analysis.

 

Application Focus: Metabolic imaging of cancer and its response to therapy using positron emission tomography (PET).  There has been rapid development of technologies for quantitative image data capture in biology and medicine. Increasingly diagnostic medical information consists of sequences of 3-D (volumetric) imaging data, in-vivo.  However, local biologic variability of the target,  as well as fundamental restrictions in resolution characteristics (often related to doseimetry considerations),  produce data that are limited by noise.  As is the case in a number of fields, advances in instrumentation and data generation capabilities have far out-paced the development of statistical analysis tools that are capable of extracting useful scientific information from that data. This is especially the case with technologies used for in-vivo imaging studies with  PET,  fMRI and dynamic contrast CT.

 

Collaboration: Since 1990  I have worked closely with the PET cancer imaging program at the University of  Washington (group leaders Professors Janet F Eary and Kenneth A Krohn). I am involved in number of other current medical imaging related collaborations with PET/MR and CT groups in Ireland and the United States, these are concerned with diagnostic neuro-imaging studies of Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Stroke.
