Lymph Node Imaging and Diagnostics Lab
Jonathan Mamou · New York, New York
Research Focus
Dr. Jonathan Mamou's lab focuses on improving the detection and evaluation of lymph nodes, particularly in determining whether they harbor metastatic cancer. By leveraging advanced quantitative ultrasound techniques, his research aims to create better diagnostic tools that can differentiate between cancerous and benign conditions in lymph nodes during routine medical procedures. This work not only seeks to enhance cancer staging but also to facilitate more appropriate treatment strategies for patients.
