"Virtual biopsy is a major research focus of Dr. Ross Mitchell a medical computer scientist at the University of Calgary. "Virtual biopsy uses analytical methods to extract information about a patient's genetics from their images. We can't see genes directly with medical imaging—the spatial resolution is too poor—but medical images can detect other biochemical and physical information related to genes. We may be able to use that information to non-invasively diagnose diseases like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and brain cancer," explains Dr. Mitchell."
