    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    I have established my career through the development and evaluation of computerized techniques for the quantitative analysis of medical images and the assessment of tumor response to therapy. More specifically, my research has involved the computerized detection and evaluation of lung nodules in thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans, the assessment of image quality and pathologic change in temporally subtracted chest radiographic images, the computerized evaluation of mesothelioma tumor and response to therapy in CT scans, critical analyses of image-based tumor response assessment for mesothelioma, the development of objective CT-based metrics for the quantification of mucosal inflammation due to sinusitis, the application of radiomics to the pre- and post-treatment CT scans of radiation therapy patients to predict normal lung tissue complications, and the evaluation of reference standards for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) research. As the local principal investigator for the Lung Image Database Consortium project that spanned 10 years and as the faculty director of the University of Chicago’s Human Imaging Research Office, I have extensive experience with interdisciplinary and multi-institutional image-based projects.
