 RONALD HARROP
 BIOMEDICAL COMPUTING
 
  email: harrop@cs.sfu.ca
  Address: School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University,
  Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6
  Phone: +1-604-291-4235 // Fax: +1-604-291-3045
  
  Professor Emeritus of Computing Science and Mathematics
  B.A. Mathematics 1946, M.A. 1950, Ph.D. Mathematics 1953, Univ. of
  Cambridge.
  
  Adjunct Professor, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Senior Research
  Scientist, University Hospital, UBC
  
  Laboratory Affiliations: SFU/TRIUMF Medical Computing and Imaging
  Group, Medical Imaging Research Group, Vancouver General Hospital
  
  Current Research:
  (1) The use of positron emission tomography in the study of
  Alzheimer's disease and of certain other disorders. This involves
  cooperative work with a group of researchers at UBC who are concerned
  with an overall study of the diseases.
  (2) Work associated with the design and prototype building of a volume
  imaging positron emission tomograph. This includes aspects of detector
  testing, data acquisition and processing, image reconstruction and
  display.
  (3) Medical Informatics.
  
  Recent Funding: Natural Science and Engineering Research Council
  Team, Strategic award (co-investigator), and awards from the Centre
  for Systems Science.
