PROFILE: Dr Rob Hart is a graduate of the
Department of Medical Imaging. His doctoral studies at the University of Western
Australia examined the difficulties of
co-registering x-ray based images with ultrasound information derived during
examinations of the major blood vessels to the brain. He then spent time with Professor Sir
Alfred Cuschieri at the University
of Dundee as a
postdoctoral research assistant.
Working under the guidance of Dr Tim Frank, of the Surgical Technology
Group, and Professor Ian Ricketts, of the Department of Applied Computing,
Rob developed an ultrasound technique (sonoelastography) which is potentially
useful for the detection of simulated breast cancers. His current research interests include the
development of techniques of digital radiography in space, characterisation
of ultrasound interactions with bone, and improved understanding of
sonoporation.
Rob has recently been invited to work as a consultant with the Advanced
Projects Team (Medical Care Informatics & Healthcare Systems) at NASA's Johnson Space Center. This team is developing health care systems
and technologies for space flight.
