I am involved in using imaging guidance tools , such as CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound, in diagnosing and treating children with a wide variety of illnesses. This, together with advances in other technologies, allows for a greater number of conditions which can be treated through minimally invasive approaches. These image-guided therapies can aid or avoid other forms of treatment, including surgery or conventional medication administration.

My joint position at Vancouver General Hospital allows for a unique opportunity to access resources for children with brain and spine disorders, especially conditions involving the vasculature. In addition, children with cancer and other complex vascular disorders can be offered treatments which would otherwise be extremely difficult to access.
