The main theme of Dr. Pierson's research revolves around ovarian follicular development under natural and ovulation induction conditions. Some of the tools developed in Dr. Pierson's laboratory, the Women's Health Imaging Research Laboratory (WHIRL), for the analysis of high-resolution ultrasonographic images have proven useful, not only in the assessment of ovarian follicle function, but also in the assessment of ovarian masses and breast masses. Other areas of research include development of computer software for tissue characterization and analysis of ultrasonographic and MR images, 3-dimensional ultrasonography, early embryo development, automated detection of embryonic anomalies and development of animal model systems for investigation of human reproductive dilemmas.
