Research Summary
On the cancer front, my research aims for identifying imaging biomarker to predict the prognosis for patients with different types of brain cancer. To me this is very important as imaging is the first test to diagnose brain cancer and initiate discussion with the patient and family. Prognosticating biomarkers on imaging help the very first discussion with the patient and family and is critical in further decision making.
Goals
To improve the prognostication of brain cancer based on imaging biomarkers.
Research Biography
I am a diagnostic and interventional Neuroradiologist. I look at patients from their imaging perspective and try to give answers to many questions the patients may have about their new diagnosis.
