Question: Will your research affect people? If so how many people and in what way?

Hello! Thanks for your question!

Right now I’m working on some research that will hopefully allow doctors to gather more useful information from cardiac MRI scans. If our new technique proves useful after some testing then it will be brought into routine use and will help will diagnosing about a hundred patients a year in the centre I work in. It won’t have a direct impact on patients, but will assist doctors in making their diagnosis and hopefully guide decisions on future treatment for the patient.
