Education
Ph.D. Duke University 1974
Research Interests
I have spent the last thirty one years engaged in building and applying advanced imaging technologies ranging from work on the first CT scanner installed at Duke (1974) to installation of the world's first high filed (1.5 T) clinical MRI system (1983). I continue to serve the medical center in commissioning new imaging technologies. Since 1983 my research has focused on extending the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging from the clinical domain, typically with voxels of 1 x 1 x 1 mm to the microscopic domain required for basic research in small animal models with voxels 125,000X smaller. The Center for In Vivo Microscopy was founded in 1985 and continues today with generous support from the National Center for Research Resources (P41 RR005959). The Center currently supports 6 state-of-the-art imaging systems for small animal imaging: 3 MRI systems (2, 7, and 9.4 T), a micro x-ray system, a micro- CT system, and a microPET system. The Center has embarked on an aggressive program to expand these modalities into molecular imaging with support from NCI (R24 CA092656)
