Detection and Therapy of cancer, using PET scans and Radioimmunotherapy.
I am also interested in pediatric nuclear medicine and infection imaging. In addition
to the above, I have a strong interest in Brain SPECT imaging in epilepsy
and psychiatric disease. I am involved in numerous clinical trials of radioimmunotherapy
and the use of PET imaging to follow the response of tumors to chemotherapy.
UT-Houston Radiologists join the forces of
interventional radiology and radionuclide therapies to investigate
new approaches to treatment of metastatic liver disease. Houston
