Our research interests include the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer, breast imaging technology and minimally invasive techniques for diagnosis and treatment. We are leading studies on computer-aided detection of breast cancer, tomosynthesis in breast cancer screening, lymph node biopsy techniques and MRI assessment of pre-invasive breast cancer. We are also leading the imaging research in two breast cancer prevention studies which use novel techniques to study the response of the breast to endocrine therapy.
