Next-generation magnetic resonance imaging using simulation-based image reconstruction

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

What will be done?

We will develop and implement novel methods for simulation-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that will take the next step in spatial and temporal resolution, increased accuracy and precision, and reduced scan time.

How will it be done?

Advanced optimization algorithms will be translated from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research and applied to the problem of reconstructing images with relevant clinical information from raw scanner data. The methods will be implemented in clinical research through collaborators at the University Hospital in Lund.

Why is this important?

Ultra-high resolution and shorter scan times will enable imaging of smaller details, such as intracranial arteries involved in stroke, and rapid processes such as the response to exercise in congenital heart disease. The new information may be used for better diagnosis, treatment decisions and patient follow-up in the future.
