معرفی
Isabelle Masseau is a Professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal. Her research focuses on medical imaging techniques for diagnosing respiratory diseases in animals, particularly in cats and dogs. She holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Missouri and is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiologists.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences, University of Missouri (2011)
- Residency in Veterinary Medical Imaging, University of Missouri (2011)
- Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Radiologists (2009)
- D.V.M., University of Montreal (2002)
Research Interests:
Dr. Masseau specializes in diagnostic imaging, particularly using computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound to study respiratory diseases in animals. Her work emphasizes understanding pulmonary hypertension in hyperthyroid cats, airway collapse in dogs, and imaging protocols for early disease detection. She collaborates on projects involving exotic species like leopard geckos and buffalo frogs, expanding imaging applications to diverse animal models.
Recent Research Trends:
Her publications highlight advancements in lung ultrasound techniques, CT scan interpretations, and MRI applications for neuroimaging in animals. Recent studies include evaluating B-line patterns in cats and analyzing ventilator-assisted CT scans for canine airway collapse.
Grants & Funding:
Funded projects include a study on normal anatomy of buffalo frogs, supported by the Société zoologique de Granby.
Advising & Students:
Supervised master’s students researching pulmonary hemodynamics in hyperthyroid cats and structural changes in pulmonary arteries linked to respiratory conditions.
Labs/Teams:
Active in clinical research teams within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, focusing on imaging innovations and respiratory disease mechanisms.
