Research Interests
My research efforts are focused on novel imaging methodologies and applications in target delineation and normal tissue assessment in patients receiving head and neck radiotherapy. Head and neck cancers are difficult to treat, as tumor often lies immediately adjacent to radiation-sensitive structures. Spatially accurate imaging before, during, and after therapy is essential to optimizing radiation therapy delivery. My work focuses on using CT/PET/MR data to modify treatment planning through identification of tumor voxels, as well as deriving information regarding the physiology of tumor and non-tumor organ-at-risk volumes. Additionally, we aim to implement novel magnetic resonance techniques for radiotherapy planning and radiobiological assessment of tumor and normal tissue imaging biomarkers for response to radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy.
