Cancer remains the leading cause of death in Canada, with incidence rates increasing year after year. As such, early screening and detection of cancer becomes paramount, particularly given the high survival rates after diagnosis of cancers such as prostate cancer and melanoma.*Dr. Wong is developing integrative medical imaging systems that combine hardware-software co-design using a systems perspective for aiding doctors in making well-informed clinical decisions. Working with clinical institutions, this translational research will enable early detection and localization of cancer, and enable minimally-invasive focal therapies for improving patient recovery times and reducing patient discomfort.

癌症仍然是加拿大的主要死亡原因，发病率逐年上升。因此，癌症的早期筛查和检测变得至关重要，特别是考虑到前列腺癌和黑色素瘤等癌症确诊后的高存活率。*王博士正在开发综合医学成像系统，这种系统利用系统的观点结合硬件和软件的共同设计，帮助医生做出明智的临床决策。与临床机构合作，这项转化研究将使癌症能够及早发现和定位，并能够进行微创局部治疗，以缩短患者的康复时间，减少患者的不适。
