Bio
Assoc Prof Koh Tong San’s research interest is on developing quantitative methods for functional oncologic imaging which include dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE) using CT or MRI, diffusion weighted imaging, dynamic PET and the computational analysis of such images. Functional oncologic imaging allows for the assessment of physiological information pertaining to the tumor microenvironment by imaging the transport/movement of molecular tracers within the tumor. He has developed two versions of the distributed parameter model (mammillary and capillary distributed) for DCE imaging which are physiologically more realistic in portraying tumor microcirculation than existing methods. He has also developed DCE methods for measuring molecular diffusivity within the tumor interstitium and for the assessment of splenic and splanchnic contributions to portal venous flow in liver cirrhosis.
