Medical imaging involves developing and using technologies to study biological and physiological processes at all levels, from molecules to organs, to detect disease, guide surgery, and monitor treatment. This research focuses on improving tools for cancer detection and treatment, image-guided surgery, and high-resolution imaging using methods such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear imaging, optical coherence tomography, atomic force microscopy, and lasers. Faculty also study how energy-based technologies can support diagnosis, treatment, and stimulation, as well as how organs like the ear, eye, and brain function. The work is highly collaborative, involving faculty from Biomedical Engineering, the School of Medicine, the College of Arts and Sciences, and other partners across the university, as well as with industry and researchers at other institutions.
