Research Summary
My research interests include digital breast tomosynthesis and screening breast ultrasound. Additionally, I led a multi-institution clinical trial as national co-Principal Investigator investigating a new technology, opto-acoustic imaging, which may help to improve our diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses.
