Benjamin M. Ellingson, PhD, MS

Dr. Ben Ellingson's research interests include advanced functional and structural MR imaging of primary brain tumor physiology and response to treatment, imaging biomarkers for brain tumors, voxel-wise spatiotemporal modeling of physiological imaging parameters, predictive tumor growth and invasion models, diffusion and perfusion MRI, molecular imaging of brain and body cancers and radiogenomics in glioblastoma.
