My research interests include advanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for HPB tumors. I also work with computer scientists to investigate the potential applications of computer-based medical image analysis and text analysis in this area. Computer-based image analysis lets us look at medical images beyond what the human eye can see. Medical images contain a vast amount of hidden data. We are harnessing this big data to predict tumor pathology, genetics, and response to treatment. With computer-based text analysis (also called natural language processing), we can identify trends in disease patterns and response from thousands of patients at a time. These analyses provide insight into how cancers metastasize over time.
