Imaging technologies for cancer research

The overarching goal of the Cancer Imaging Laboratory is the development of novel image acquisition and analysis methods to be applied to the diagnosis and characterization of cancer. Using diverse imaging modalities, including confocal laser microscopy, X-Ray computer tomography and micro-ultrasound, applied to "in vitro" cell cultures, ex-vivo tissues or animal models, we develop new image processing algorithms to be applied to early cancer diagnosis or to quantitative molecular studies about the carcinogenic process.
