Description

This research will focus on developing advanced magnetic This research will focus on developing advanced magnetic

This research will focus on developing advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that can provide better artefact-free images and more precise quantitative measurements. This research includes developing: new methods for RF and gradient field generation and mapping, improved open-source pulse sequences, improved methods for complex diffusion and spin relaxation measurements, methods to correlate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and MRI data, spin dynamics code to simulate magnetic resonance measurements, field agile NMR and MRI, improved micro-MRI, MRI as a radiation dosimetry tool. This research will involve work on a preclinical metrology MRI, state of the art clinical MRIs, and a variable field NMR/ micro-MRI.
