As my clinical practice changed from pediatric imaging to adult thoracic imaging, my research interests have changed as well. I am currently involved in projects related to sickle cell disease as well as cystic fibrosis. The sickle cell project will involve defining the imaging characteristics of those patients whose discharge diagnosis was acute chest syndrome - location of airspace disease, need for imaging other than plain radiographs, coexistence of other pathologies.
