Research Focus
Dr. Peter B. Noel's lab focuses on improving medical imaging technologies, particularly in the area of computed tomography (CT) and x-ray imaging. They are developing innovative approaches, such as 3D printing patient-specific CT phantoms to enhance the accuracy of imaging devices. Additionally, they are researching advanced imaging techniques to detect early changes in lung structure due to radiation therapy, with the aim of improving patient care outcomes.
