Research plan:
Experimental diagnostic medical imaging research – Accelerated validation process and implementation in clinical practice.
Special emphases will be on the following initiatives:
1) Renal disease including cancer: Diagnostic imaging to avoid biopsy and monitor treatment response.
2) Liver disease: Diagnostic imaging to avoid biopsy and monitor treatment response.
3) Brain and kidney elastography – MRI elastography could become a new method to measure the pressure in ventricles and fibrosis in the kidneys.
