Rachel Eddy
PhD

Investigator, BC Children's Hospital

The focus of my research is to better understand lung disease, and potential risks for lung disease, in children that can then be used to better treat patients and potentially stop lung disease from developing or advancing. To do this, we develop and apply new non-invasive medical imaging tools to deeply measure lung structure and function. We primarily use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which allows us to safely scan people multiple times and measure unique aspects of lung function that are not possible using any other clinical or imaging tool.
