"I do a lot of clinical work but I'm associated with The Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science that does lots of very interesting research. We are currently investigating the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of microbubbles, a new field called "theranostics" which combines the diagnoses and therapy of multiple types of cancers."

"I started doing ultrasounds as a medical student and really enjoyed it. So for me it was a natural progression to go into imaging. I love Radiology because it allows you to understand many different disease processes. Essentially in Radiology you act as a doctor's consultant. We have a very important role in diagnosing and managing many different diseases."

Currently, his research focuses on the efficacy of various types of ultrasound diagnosing techniques, as well as enhancing the effects of treatment of cancer patients using sonographic theranostics. He noted:
