About Me
I am an abdominal imaging specialist, and I also serve as the director of the Abdominal Imaging Fellowship Program at Duke Radiology. My main clinical and research interests are multiparametric prostate MRI, as well as liver MRI. I have strong clinical and research collaborations with the Division of Urologic Surgery, Department of Pathology and Department of Biomedical Engineering. Much of my work focuses on improving the detection and characterization of prostate cancer using cutting-edge imaging techniques. Our goal is to improve the care for our prostate cancer patients by creating a customized treatment plan via a multidisciplinary team approach.
