Current Role at Stanford
- Original research focusing on applications of MR guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) for ablative treatments of cancer and trans-cranial neurosurgical treatment of tremor. <br/>- Developing new MRI imaging strategies and pulse sequence development of non-ablative applications of focused ultrasound, including MR Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging.<br/>- Medical Physicist including ultrasound treatment planning and MRI imaging specialist of multiple ongoing human clinical trials, as well as clinical treatments at SHC, to image, treat, and monitor MRgFUS of bone metastases, soft tissue tumors of the extremities, uterine fibroids, and trans-cranial MRgFUS treatment of essential tremor. <br/>- Bridge technical and clinical communication in translational collaborations between clinicians, interventional radiologists, imaging technologists, medical device companies, research scientists, graduate students, and faculty.<br/>- Clinical implementation of translational work, including treatment protocol development, imaging protocol development, and forming intra-procedural treatment monitoring strategies for MR guided ablative therapies including focused ultrasound and cryoablation.
