HIGH-PERFORMANCE LOW-FIELD MRI
We are exploring a new scanner configuration that is ideal for dynamic imaging, interventional guidance, imaging around metal implants, lung imaging, and many other untapped applications. Read more…
DYNAMIC CONTRAST ENHANCED IMAGING
Constrained reconstruction has enabled major (36-fold) improvements in spatial resolution, coverage, and sensitivity of brain DCE-MRI. We are optimizing and prospectively evaluating this approach in brain tumor patients as a way to inform patient management. Read more…
CARDIAC ARTERIAL SPIN LABELING
Arterial Spin Labeling is a non-contrast approach for measuring tissue perfusion. We have demonstrated that this can be applied to heart muscle through carefully calibrated pulse sequence design. We are developing this technique for ischemia evaluation and scar evaluation. Read more…
VOCAL TRACT DYNAMICS
Real-time interactive MRI provides incredibly rich information about vocal tract dynamics during natural speech production. We are developing the tools for scientific discovery in this area. We primarily study normal function and language development, and are now starting to examine pathologies. Read more…
