Research Focus
Dr. Mirabela Rusu's lab at Stanford University focuses on using advanced imaging techniques to improve the diagnosis of prostate cancer. By developing deep learning models that analyze MRI scans, the lab aims to distinguish between aggressive and indolent forms of prostate cancer, which is crucial for preventing unnecessary biopsies and improving patient care. Their innovative approach combines pathology data with imaging to enhance the accuracy of cancer detection.
