Dr. Song’s research interests include development and refinement of new imaging methods to improve targeting of radiation, as well as innovative means of delivering higher doses of radiation. He is currently funded by the Department of the Army to develop an improved seed visualization method for prostate brachytherapy, in collaboration with scientists from the Johns Hopkins Engineering Research Center.
Personal Quotation
“Cancer patients today face a myriad of treatment options and information which can often be intimidating. One of my goals is to help my patients understand the subtle differences between treatments, and together we decide on the plan that will result in the best outcome for them.” |
