Overview

Dr. Yang’s scientific interests focus on developing and investigating novel PET/MR imaging technologies and integrating these innovations into cancer diagnosis to improve cancer detectability or radiotherapy to improve therapeutic gains in cancer radiotherapy.

Areas of active research include: (1) the development of four dimensional (4D) simultaneous PET/MR protocols for thoracic and abdominal PET/MR images, (2) MR-based attenuation/motion correction for PET, (3) PET-derived respiratory motion estimation, and (2) their applications in lung/cardiac/liver cancer radiotherapy to improve target volume segmentation and to reduce toxicity towards personalized 4D external beam radiotherapy.

Interests

PET/MRI, attenuation correction, motion correction, radiotherapy
