Cancer and heart disease are the two leading causes of death in Canada, with incidence *rates increasing year after year. Early screening and detection is paramount, *particularly given significantly increased survival rates and improved quality of life *when detected early. Dr. Wong is developing several integrative medical imaging systems that *combine hardware-software co-design using a systems perspective for aiding doctors in* making fast, well-informed clinical decisions and treatment planning. Working with clinical *institutions, this translational research will enable early detection of cancer and heart *disease, and enable early, minimally-invasive treatment for improving patient recovery* times and quality of life.

癌症和心脏病是加拿大的两大死亡原因，发病率逐年上升。早期筛查和检测至关重要，* 特别是考虑到早期检测可显著提高生存率和改善生活质量 *。 Wong博士正在开发几种集成医学成像系统，这些系统 * 结合了联合收割机硬件-软件协同设计，使用系统视角帮助医生 * 做出快速，明智的临床决策和治疗计划。与临床机构合作，这项转化研究将能够早期发现癌症和心脏病，并能够早期进行微创治疗，以改善患者的康复时间和生活质量。
