Radiology is a wonderful medical science, which allows the physician, and the patient, to observe the interior of the patient in real time, with permanent images, with full motion, and viewed from multiple directions. It combines physics, chemistry, biology, computers, engineering, and medicine for the benefit of the patient. It is a dynamic field, advancing rapidly, under the watchful prodding of basic science and medical science research. Listed below are a few personal examples of such research in quantitative radiology.
