Research Information

Research Interests

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF)
  • Quantitative MR
  • Neuroimaging, Breast Imaging, Prostate Imaging

Our research focuses on the development and clinical translation of novel quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology, to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. 

Clinical decisions currently rely heavily on invasive procedures, such as biopsies and surgical implants. There is a pressing clinical need to develop non-invasive, low-risk, time and cost efficient methods for improved diagnosis and treatment management. Our goal is to address this clinical need by developing an efficient MR imaging acquisition and post-processing framework to provide non-invasive, fast and comprehensive information for clinical decision support.
