Career Sketch: While focused on multimodality imaging and quantitative image analysis, Dr. Fei has been involved in imaging research since he graduated from college with a BS degree at 18 years old, back in the 1990s. Before he joined Emory, he was in charge of the Multimodality Image Analysis Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University. There, through his extensive research involvement, his work on prostate cancer imaging and image-guided therapy was highlighted by the Department of Defense in 2006. Dr. Fei's NIH-supported research has emphasized applying multimodality molecular imaging (PET/MRI) to study early tumor response to therapy. In his Quantitative Bio-Imaging Laboratory (QBIL), his current research projects include: advanced computer algorithms for medical image processing and analysis, technology development and applications of combined PET/MRI, image-guided minimally invasive therapy, and multimodality cancer imaging.
