Recent projects by a members of Mayo Clinic-ASU research teams have included work to help produce advances in medical care. Progress was made in efforts aimed at improving cancer treatment, including research in which Sung-Min Sohn, an assistant professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools, collaborated with Dr. Tanya Rath, a Mayo Clinic diagnostic neuroradiologist. They explored ways to use magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, technology to help image throat disorders in ways that would make diagnosis more accurate, as well as achieve progress in the ability to provide care for cancer patients at risk of losing their voices. Another project could help ASU baseball players and other young athletes reduce the need for shoulder and elbow surgeries for baseball pitchers.
