Research Focus
Lonie Salkowski's lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison focuses on improving cancer detection through enhanced training for radiology residents in screening mammography. The lab is developing a specialized simulation system to help residents practice their interpretive skills in a safe environment, aiming to reduce errors in diagnosing breast cancer. Their research combines radiology, computer science, and educational psychology to foster better outcomes for women's health.
