Hans-Christoph Becker, MD, FSABI, FSCCT

Clinical Professor, Radiology
Clinical Focus
Diagnostic Radiology
Research Interests
Myocardial bridges (MB) with associated upfront atherosclerotic lesions are common findings on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Abnormal septal wall motion in exercise echocardiography (EE) may to be associated with MB. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is considered the gold standard for the detection of MB. We investigate whether CTA is comparable to IVUS for the assessment of MB and upstream plaques in symptomatic patients with suspicion for MB raised by EE.

Professor of Radiology (General Radiology) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Clinical Focus
Pediatric Radiology, Pediatric Oncology Imaging
Research Interests
As a physician-scientist involved in the care of pediatric patients and developing novel pediatric molecular imaging technologies, my goal is to link the fields of nanotechnology and medical imaging towards more efficient diagnoses and image-guided therapies. Our research team develops novel imaging techniques for improved cancer diagnosis, for image-guided-drug delivery and for in vivo monitoring of cell therapies in children and young adults.
