Biomedical Imaging

UVA engineers are making major contributions to the future of biomedical imaging, addressing unmet clinical needs and basic science questions. We are discovering new systems and contrast agents to interrogate anatomy and function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ scales, improving guidance and application of medical therapies,and integrating imaging data with other big data.
