Current Research Projects

Dr. Lacefield's group conducts research in the Imaging Research Laboratories at the Robarts Research Institute. The Imaging Research Laboratories are organized into nine major research themes. Dr. Lacefield participates as a principal investigator in three themes: Basic Imaging Science and Engineering, Cellular and Micro-Imaging, and Oncological Imaging. Descriptions of his major research projects follow.

Ultrasound Micro-Imaging of Tumour Progression in Mouse Cancer Models

Nondestructive Evaluation of Heart Valve Biomaterials Using High-Frequency Ultrasound

Ultrasound-Guided Robotic Needle Positioning System for Small Animal Research Applications

Computational Modeling of Ultrasound Breast Cancer Imaging
