Our Departmental Research Centre for Medical Image Computing (RC-MIC) focuses on the development of new novel techniques for computation AI image post-processing and medical image quantification computing, with the aim of developing and promoting the application of computational methods to be used in everyday clinical diagnosis and clinically relevant research.

Head and neck radiology uses a multimodality approach with MRI, US, CT and PET to detect, characterise and map extent of disease, as well as guide invasive examinations/procedures and predict and monitor cancer response. Our department has a long history of research and teaching in head and neck radiology, especially for ultrasound and MRI.

Our department has a dedicated team working on the research, development, and application of innovative MRI technologies. One main focus of our research is the development of robust, non-invasive, contrast-free quantitative MRI for early diagnosis, screening, and post-treatment monitoring of diseases.

Musculoskeletal imaging focuses on the diagnostic imaging and treatment of diseases involving the joints, bones, muscles and spine. This includes imaging of arthritis, sports injuries, bone and soft tissue tumours, and muscular disorders. Our Department has been at the forefront of musculoskeletal imaging in Asia, and was the first to show a method for measuring glenoid bone loss in recurrent dislocation, which is now routinely used in radiology departments worldwide.

Neuroimaging encompases both structural imaging of the brain and spine and the variety of advanced neuroimaging techniques to evaluate neurological disease and manage treatment. Our department has strong neuroradiological expertise in clinical practice and neuroscience research, with emphasis on stroke, small vessel disease, neurodegenerative disorders and demyelination.

Paediatric imaging is the subspecialty concerned with imaging of conditions affecting infants, children and young people. Our department has been working closely with multiple clinical departments related to paediatric care, including general paediatrics and adolescent medicine, paediatric surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, paediatric orthopaedic and neonatology.

Vascular and Interventional Radiology is unique among the subspecialties of Radiology in a sense that it does not end at imaging or diagnosis, it carries a dimension of therapy. From this perspective, our research is focused on exploring innovative concepts, approaches, technologies, methods, techniques, and drugs, with an aim to develop safe and effective treatments for diseases and to provide sound solution for clinical problems, using non-surgical interventions, in a minimally-invasive way.
