Translational Research in UltraSound Theranostics (TRUST) Lab at UT Southwestern

We apply advanced MRI technologies to study many different diseases.

The Sun Lab is focused on developing novel imaging probes for noninvasive assessment of specific biomarkers implicated in disease initiation, progression, or regression, and exploring the translational roles of imaging probes and/or methodologies in clinical medicine practice with the ultimate goal to improve the outcome of patient care.

The Collaborative for Advanced Clinical Techniques in UltraSound (CACTUS) constitutes a group of like-minded physicians, scientists, and technical experts dedicated to the advancement of clinical imaging, technical and translational research, and image-guided intervention in ultrasound.

The research interests of the Lux Lab lie in the development of novel nanomedicine platforms to diagnose and treat disease in vivo noninvasively.

Our lab focuses on the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in pediatric and congenital heart disease.

Oz Lab combines imaging, interventional radiology, radiotracers (novel and known), and animal models to study physiology and disease pathophysiology.

Dr. Maldjian's ANSIR Lab is devoted to the application of novel image analysis methods (e.g. diffeomorphic registration, machine learning, graph theory, ASL) to research studies, as well as to robust clinical translation of these techniques.

The Bowen Lab focuses on the development of hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) (e.g. PET-CT and PET-MR) tools to enable precision imaging for the care and study of oncology, neurology, and cardiology patients.
