As a Radiography Lecturer, my research endeavors are centered on the intersection of radiography, medical imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI). I am particularly interested in exploring the potential of AI-driven techniques to revolutionize the field of medical imaging. My research focuses on the development and application of AI algorithms for tasks such as image segmentation, classification, and anomaly detection, with the aim of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and consistency. I investigate how AI can assist radiographers in interpreting complex images, identifying subtle abnormalities, and providing more personalized and timely diagnoses. Furthermore, my research explores the potential of AI-powered tools for image quality improvement, radiation dose reduction, and personalized treatment planning. Through my research, I strive to contribute to the advancement of medical imaging practices and improve patient outcomes.
