Dr. Mini Das's lab at the University of Houston focuses on developing advanced imaging technologies, particularly a new type of micro-CT system that utilizes spectral phase-contrast imaging. This innovative approach aims to improve soft tissue imaging while reducing radiation exposure, which is especially important for longitudinal studies in cancer research. By building a system that combines both phase and non-phase contrast imaging capabilities, the lab seeks to enhance the diagnostic potential and safety of imaging techniques used in preclinical studies.
