Brief Biography
Dr. Chuang has been a staff Neuroradiologist in the Department of Diagnostic Imaging since 1978. He was Head of Special Procedures from 1984 to 1988, Head of Neuroradiology from 1996 to 2005 and is currently Head of Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Specific interest and responsibilities in Diagnostic Imaging are focused in Paediatric Neuro-MRI and MEG. He has been involved in a number of previously funded research projects, and his current funded research, in corroboration with his peers in the Department of Neurology, is mainly related to MEG. EEG dipole analysis and examination of auditory function in children using magnetoencephalography, fMRI and MEG language localization, and long-term outcome of epilepsy in childhood are a few examples of the work being done by Dr. Chuang and his colleagues in researching Magnetic Resonance Imaging and MEG in pediatric epilepsy. With his keen interest in MEG, Dr. Chuang hopes to continue on-going research in childhood seizure disorders.
