● Mami IIMA Assistant Professor
Research Interests: Diagnostic Radiology
Research Topic: Development of a New Non-Invasive Diagnostic Tool for Investigating Breast Cancer Using Diffusion Weighted MRI
Short Introduction
When Mami was a resident in radiology, she started to engage in research activities as she tried to solve one by one the questions which she faced in her daily practice. Beyond conventional surgery a wide variety of treatments are now available to manage cancer patients, and diagnostic imaging has become an indisputable approach to provide valuable information to determine best therapy. She is developing a new imaging method for cancer based on water diffusion MRI which is completely non-invasive, without the need for invasive surgical procedures or even administration of tracers. She will aim at clarifying which tumor features, such as vascularization or tissue constructs at microscopic level, can be derived from the image analysis. She will also establish a semi-automated computer-assisted diagnostic imaging method based on the quantitative information obtained from those images, to facilitate and improve clinicians’ decisions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
