Scientific Interests

Dr. Sung's primary research focuses on the development of novel medical imaging methods and artificial intelligence using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In particular, his research group (https://mrrl.ucla.edu/sunglab/) is currently focused on, developing advanced deep learning algorithms and quantitative MRI techniques for early diagnosis, treatment guidance, and therapeutic response assessment for oncologic applications. Such developments can offer more robust and reproducible measures of biologic markers associated with cancers.
