David R. Busch, Ph. D.

I am a postdoctoral researcher under Prof. Arjun Yodh in the Department of Physics, at the University of Pennsylvania. In my work, I apply diffuse optical spectroscopy and tomography to image and monitor human disease. My research has focused on design and construction of instrumentation for simultaneous Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of breast cancer. Additionally, I have worked on development of Computer Aided Detection (CAD) for diffuse optical imaging of breast cancer and monitoring microvascular blood flow during simulated mammography. This research has been funded by the NIH through the NCR Research Resource Center For Magnetic Resonance And Optical Imaging.
