Guy Cloutier, PhD.@

Director LBUM

Full Professor, Department of Radiology, Radio-Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Université de Montréal

Research interests

Research and development in several areas related to medical imaging applied to vascular pathologies, rheological disorders of blood circulation, pathologies of the liver and tendons and cancer.. Improvements to diagnosis and follow-up of hyper-erythrocyte aggregation, a pathological state promoting blood hyper viscosity and thrombotic side-effects, arterial atherosclerosis, venous thrombosis, vascular aneurysms, and cancer tumors with new imaging methods. Development of new methods to characterize the biomechanical properties of the abovementioned pathologies by ultrasound elastography and micro optical cellular elastography. Ongoing collaborations with clinical scientists in radiology, cardiology and intensive cares basic scientists specialized in cardiovascular pathologies, biomedical engineers, medical physics and medical physicists.

Arnaud Héroux, B.Ing. @

PhD student

Research interests

Characterization of liver tumors by quantitative dynamic ultrasound imaging (QUS). The goal is to improve diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in connection with the earlier detection of tumors related to liver cancers thanks to an increase in the contrast between the tumor and the surrounding environment.
