Research Overview
The focus of Caroline Robson's research is pediatric head and neck imaging; fetal neuroimaging with MR; and the imaging of craniosynsotosis.

Her primary interests and the goals of her research are:

  • To advance the understanding and imaging of pediatric head and neck disorders, with emphasis on temporal bone imaging.

  • To advance the detection and diagnosis of fetal brain, craniofacial and head and neck abnormalities with MR.

  • The correlation of imaging findings with fetal and pediatric genetic disorders
