Concordia doctoral researcher takes home prize for her cancer prediction and diagnosis work


Parnian Afshar is looking at the emerging medical imaging field of radiomics
Parnian Afshar: “Medical imaging is key to a cancer diagnosis.”
Parnian Afshar, a PhD student at the Concordia Institute for Information System Engineering (CIISE), won the Prix Relève étoile Louis Berlinguet for the month of March from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec Nature et technologies (FRQNT).
Working in the emerging field of medical imaging known as radiomics, Afshar is seeking to increase the accuracy and prediction of cancer detection.
