Research Focus
Dr. Daniel B. Vigneron's lab at UCSF focuses on advancing imaging techniques for better detection and assessment of prostate cancer. They are developing innovative methods utilizing hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI to monitor metabolic changes in tumors, especially in response to therapies like radiation. Their work aims to improve biopsy guidance and treatment planning, ultimately enhancing patient care in prostate cancer management.
