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，这些系统使用系统视角将联合收割机硬件-软件协同设计结合起来，以帮助医生做出快速、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，并实现早期微创治疗，以改善患者的恢复时间和生活质量。
