Research summary
My British Heart Foundation funded research centres around multi-modality imaging of the heart, lungs and blood vessels. I use state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to discover new information in medical imaging.
My research involves computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of various cardiovascular diseases, and in particular coronary artery disease.
I am a member of the steering committee of the SCOT-HEART and SCOT-HEART2 trials, which investigate the use of computed tomography coronary angiography to identify coronary artery disease.
