Research Interests:	My research interests are in computer aided interpretation of 3D medical images. Because advances in imaging techniques continue to give the phyician more and more information, there is a need for more accurate and more effective ways of analyzing this information. My interest is in developing and evaluating new methods for 3D medical imaging including visualization, quantitative analysis, and computer aided detection.
