Research Focus
Dr. Guang-Hong Chen's research lab focuses on advancing imaging technologies for medical applications, particularly in computed tomography (CT). The lab aims to create new imaging systems that improve diagnostic accuracy while reducing patient exposure to radiation. Key projects include developing a next-generation cone beam CT system that incorporates photon counting technology and introducing a one-stop-shop CT imaging method for abdominal examinations, which enhances the diagnostic process by simplifying image acquisition and analysis.
