Overview
Our lab is committed to advancing quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology by bridging MR physics, signal modeling, artificial intelligence, and clinical translation. Our goal is to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases. Our current research efforts include :
Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF): MRF is a innovative quantitative MR imaging technique developed in our lab, which provides non-invasive quantification of multiple tissue properties within clinically feasible time.
Multi-parametric MR techniques: Developing novel MR acquisition, reconstruction, signal modeling and post-processing techniques.
Clinical translation of quantitative MR: Optimizing and integrating MRF techniques into clinical practice for the early detection and characterization of diseases such as epilepsy, brain tumors, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.
