DiSpect

Dispect is a non-contrast MRI method to trace blood sources. It can be used to probe arterial sources and venous territories in-vivo.

Quiet MRI

Our research develops upon standard ZTE to enable (i) quiet T1-weighted imaging and (ii) quiet, dynamic imaging with flexible temporal resolution.We jointly design the quiet acquisition along with an inverse problem-based reconstruction to enable novel applications of quiet MRI in clinical settings.

Conformal Receiver Coils

Our research focuses on the development of conformal, ultra-thin MRI receiver coils designed to improve imaging quality, patient comfort, and neuroimaging compatibility by integrating novel fabrication methods such as vacuum forming, electroless copper plating, and Twstr coil technology.

Caterpillar Traps

The management of long cables connecting a coil array to the main MRI system remains to be a challenge. Instead of a few high-blocking traps, we present caterpillar traps, a distributed system of small, elastic traps forming a caterpillar-like structure, where bending only minimally impacts individual traps.

Phantoms

QPhantom

Our work combines 3D printing with UV curable hydrogels to make boundaryless 3D phantoms that mimic human anatomy. Current phantoms are built by casting gel into silicone molds. We are actively exploring numerous routes to directly print the gels. These include inkjet, extrusion, SLA, and rapid liquid printing.
