Clinical Interests

Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, Diagnosis and Management of Mesothelioma, Diagnosis and Management of Thoracic Neoplasms Including Metastasis, Use of Ablative Technologies to Treat Lung Cancer and Tumors, Planning and Targeting Treatment Through the Use of Quantitative Imaging to Characterize Tumor and Diffuse Lung Disease

Scientific Interests

Dr. Fereidoun Abtin is developing an ablation map and scoring system for thoracic tumors in order to guide clinicians on the modality to be used for a specific tumor type, size and location, using predictors of complete ablation at the time of procedure or in short intervals following the procedure.
