Research Focus
Dr. Louise Henderson's lab focuses on improving the health and monitoring of lung cancer survivors through innovative imaging techniques and data analysis. The research aims to reduce the risks of cancer recurrence and identify better strategies for lung cancer screening, especially for diverse populations. Using advanced deep learning methods and analysis of routine chest CT scans, the lab develops personalized surveillance strategies that tailor follow-up care to individual patient risks.
