Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool for clinical diagnosis. In clinical MRI sessions, multiple images with different contrasts are acquired from a patient using a series of conventional MRI sequences. However, it has been challenging to acquire a complete set of high-quality multi-contrast MRI data for many clinical cases, such as for seriously ill patients who cannot tolerate long scan time, and stroke patients who need to be accurately and quickly diagnosed within a very short time window. Moreover, every year millions of patients need to rely on sedation or anesthesia to complete lengthy MRI procedures, posing significant risks for serious adverse effects. In this talk, Dr. Chu will discuss basic MRI principle and current challenging MR scan-efficiency problems. She will also share her research on motion-immune and ultra-fast MRI approaches, enabling high-quality brain and body MRI for challenging patient populations.
