Longitudinal Single-Center Study with Rapid Quantitative Assessment of Knee Joint with Compressed Sensing

This study uses compressive sensing (CS) techniques to accelerate knee MRI and track osteoarthritis (OA) progression by measuring T2 and T1rho relaxation times, enabling faster detection of cartilage degeneration and changes associated with advancing disease.

MSK   QUANTITATIVE MRI

Imaging of pain sources in myofascial pain syndrome

This project aims to develop PET and MRI techniques to identify novel imaging biomarkers of myofascial tissue damage and associated inflammatory mediators, providing objective measures of trigger points and the sources of pain to improve the diagnosis, characterization, and management of myofascial pain syndrome.

Multinuclear MRI to Monitor Breast Cancer Therapy

This project develops a multinuclear MRI technique using sodium (23Na) and hydrogen (1H) MR fingerprinting at 3 T to create imaging biomarkers for assessing early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and guiding treatment decisions.

BREAST   X-NUCLEI

Next-Generation RF Coils for Magnetic Resonance-Guided Radiation Therapy

This project aims to develop radiation-compatible, high-channel RF coil arrays using remote circuitry to overcome current limitations in MR-guided radiation therapy and enable advanced imaging with improved signal-to-noise ratio and parallel imaging capabilities.

COILS

Multinuclear MRI to Assess Joint Homeostasis after Knee Injury

This study aims to develop a predictive model for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) progression following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury by integrating imaging, biological, and biomechanical markers to improve understanding, therapeutic targeting, and treatment monitoring.
