Cancer Focus

Dr. Kupinski’s cancer focus has been on designing imaging systems that will enable better detection of cancerous lesions in CT imaging, breast imaging, nuclear medicine, and diffuse optical imaging. He has been involved in the development of image-quality metrics that directly assess or correlate with how well human observers can see and detect abnormalities in images.
