Research projects:
Non Invasive Imaging
Dr Rakesh Patalay research for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Professor Chu are developing the next generation of non-invasive imaging technologies including fluorescence imaging, high frequency ultrasound and optoacoustic imaging. This has the potential to diagnose skin disease, especially cancers without the need for a diagnostic biopsy first.
