It may prove less expensive than other imaging methods currently under study.

This has allowed microscopes to be transformed into versatile imaging workstations that provide users with instant access to several imaging methods.

He also studies human touch perception using behavioral and imaging methods.

Less invasive imaging methods such as x-rays or ultrasounds do not work because the vocal cords are surrounded by cartilage which distort image quality.

He also pioneered innovative medical imaging methods: transient elastography, supersonic shear imaging and multi-wave imaging that are now implemented by several companies.
