Dr. Ting-Yim Lee |
| Research Areas: |
Use of tracer kinetics modelling to study biological processes in the human
body. Current research focus is on the application of dynamic contrast
enhanced CT scanning to study tissue perfusion in a variety of diseases
including stroke, heart attack and cancer.

Dr. Charles McKenzie |
| Research Areas: |
My group research focuses on development of new image acquisition and
reconstruction methods for increasing the speed at which MR images can be
taken. We particularly specialize in development and application of Parallel
MRI reconstruction methods. These rapid imaging techniques are widely
applicable in MRI and we are mainly using them to improve techniques for
investigating prostate cancer, liver disease, respiratory diseases and
diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Dr. Tamie Poepping |
| Research Areas: |
Ultrasound (imaging and Doppler) research and system development; hemodynamic (blood flow) studies and simulations; particle image velocimetry studies.
My research focus is the development of ultrasonic techniques for non-invasive imaging and flow
visualization, primarily to elucidate the connections between vascular tissue changes and local
hemodynamics. |

Dr. Giles Santyr |
| Research Areas: |
Relaxation times are the basis for the rich soft tissue contrast available in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI). The general goal of my research is to use knowledge of tissue relaxation to optimize
conventional MR imaging as well as develop innovative contrast agents. Current projects
involve the use of hyperpolarized noble gases (HNG's), specifically helium-3 and xenon-129. HNG's permit
functional lung imaging, particularly at ultra-low magnetic fields, as well as imaging of blood flow and
inflammatory processes associated with cancer and obstructive pulmonary disease. |

Dr. Eugene Wong |
| Research Areas: |
Our research group focuses in on
radiation treatment. The spirit of our research is create tools to
aid generation of the best treatment, individualized for each
patient. This is done by seeking the role of radiotherapy amongst
the treatment options and optimizing radiotherapy in the context of
multi-modality therapies. This also entails seeking patient-specific
information relevant to radiation therapy, such as tumour
characteristics, and exploiting the strengths and mitigating the
limitations of radiation. |
