I have worked on the development and application of hyperpolarised gas and proton lung MRI at the University of 葫芦影业 since 2009. Previously I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto working on dynamic contrast-enhanced breast imaging. I have a PhD in MRI Physics and a BSc in Physics from Imperial College London.
- Research interests
-
My research interests are focused on the application of MR imaging techniques in patients with lung disease. Projects that I have worked on include:
- early detection of lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis
- visualisation of collateral and delayed ventilation in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- imaging of ventilation response to therapies in patients with asthma and COPD
- visualisation of ventilation and perfusion matching in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, asthma and COPD
- imaging ventilation and microstructural changes in young adults with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
I am involved in clinical research study design and delivery, devising MR acquisition protocols and image computing workflows, and performing data analysis and interpretation. I helped to establish and am active in maintaining our clinical hyperpolarised gas lung imaging service.
