Dr. Roifman’s research program focuses on two areas:
- Translational and clinical MRI research including the description and assessment of remodelling of the heart and tissue characterization after a heart attack. This research also includes clinical assessment of novel cardiac MRI sequences.
- The application of health services and clinical epidemiology principles and techniques to cardiac imaging including MRI, computed tomography and echocardiography to assess clinical outcomes related to imaging biomarkers, and to conduct comparative effectiveness and imaging-related resource utilization research.
