Cancer Imaging and Early Detection
The overall goals of Physical Sciences of Cancer research at Michigan State University is to develop novel imaging-based approaches for early detection of cancer, to improve imaging technologies for improved treatment responses, and develop new non-invasive, image-based tumor biomarkers.
