Research Focus
Mark A. Anastasio’s lab broadly addresses the engineering and scientific principles of biomedical imaging. Anastasio is an expert in developing and evaluating novel imaging systems that address essential needs in clinical medicine and basic biomedical research. His lab has worked extensively on developing and evaluating both clinical and preclinical technologies for cancer imaging. Anastasio explores emerging wave-based bioimaging modalities, including photoacoustic/optoacoustic computed tomography, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and ultrasound computed tomography. His current research projects include advanced image reconstruction methods for breast cancers, requiring high-performance computing methods.
