Research Focus
Dr. Jaewon Yang's lab focuses on enhancing imaging techniques for lymphedema, a condition where fluid accumulates due to lymphatic system failure. His team is working on developing new tools to improve lymphoscintigraphy, a standard imaging method used for diagnosing lymphedema. By utilizing advanced techniques like deep learning, they aim to provide clearer images and better analysis to help improve patient care for those affected by this condition.
