Research Focus
Srinivasan Vedantham's lab at the University of Arizona focuses on developing and optimizing a specialized imaging technology called dedicated breast CT. This innovative method aims to provide high-resolution, 3D images of the breast without the need for physical compression, which has been a limitation of traditional mammography. The lab's ongoing research includes enhancing image reconstruction techniques and comparing the performance of breast CT against the standard digital breast tomosynthesis for more effective breast cancer screening.
