General Research Interest

Dr. Hall’s research interests include state-of-the-art image processing, reconstruction and quantification methods, PET/CT, MRI/PET and SPECT/CT. Kinetic modeling with dynamic imaging is also an area of interest. The over goal is to better determine ways to increase the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of molecular imaging.

Research Description

The main focus of Dr. Hall’s efforts involve utilizing molecular imaging techniques to improve the management and care of cancer patients. Projects involve improving quantification for therapy response assessment, as well as, developing imaging techniques for use in the intra and perioperative setting to improve the care and outcome of surgical oncology patients.

Transinstitutional Work

Transinstitutional efforts have led to research collaborations with the Department of Opthomology, Department of Surgery, Department of Pathology and the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine.  We have an interdisciplinary research project designed around intraoperative imaging for better localization as well as verification of resection and improvement of pathology sampling in surgical oncology patients that involves Radiology, Surgery and Pathology.  I am the Co-Advisor for a PhD student in Biophysics as well.
