Ryan Brown, PhD

Associate Professor
My research is focused on new techniques for magnetic resonance imaging. One particular area of interest is the development of radiofrequency (RF) coil arrays for a wide variety of high field and multi-nuclear MRI applications. We have implemented coils to measure metabolic activity using 31P-MRI and cell viability using 23Na-MRI. In recent years, my laboratory has also begun to explore radiotransparent RF coil arrays that minimize beam interference to support high performance MRI in hybrid systems such as MR-guided radiotherapy and PET-MR.

Research Projects

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.

Open-Source Software Tools for Rapid Radiofrequency Coil Modeling and Simulation in MRI

This project develops open-source, memory-efficient electromagnetic simulation tools using tensor decompositions and optimization techniques to improve RF coil modeling for ultra-high field MRI, enhancing image quality and safety while reducing computational and licensing barriers.

Researchers at the Center for Biomedical Imaging at NYU Langone Health develop transformative imaging technologies to advance basic science and address unsolved clinical problems.
