At QMISG, we believe that the future of MRI/S will be premised from blending basic science with advanced image formation and quantification technologies to investigate biomarkers of disease progression. QMISG embraces community oriented education and research to facilitate accurate and repeatable diagnostic methods for early detection of diseases and treatment planning based on the every-day-growing science and technology and to present them to the physicians, surgeons, radiologists and patients. The Quantitative Medical Imaging Systems Group (QMISG) is a multi-disciplinary magnetic resonance quantification research group established in 2012 at the Research Center for Molecular and Cellular Imaging (RCMCI). The quality of MR imaging depends on knowledge and technology transfer in different levels, including clinical, imaging, research and educational centers at universities and clinics. To this end, we aim to justify intensive educational activities in different levels and for variety of audiences.

The activities of QMISG are concentrated on (but not dedicated to) cortical bone quantification using Short-TE MRI pulse sequences in various applications, e.g. quantification of Bone Water Concentration (BWC) or PET-MR attenuation map generation, analysis, quantification and processing of MRS signals in different diseases, such as brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, etc., analysis, quantification and method development in MR perfusion and diffusion studies (DSC-, DCE- MRI, and DTI) in brain and abdominal organs, analysis and quantification of whole-body MR images for treatment response follow-up, e.g. in metastatic bone marrow cancers, and protocol and Software development for various MRS/MRI applications.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Spectroscopy for Oncological Applications
Developing pre-clinical imaging protocols for treatment and surgical planning, prediction of tumor response to therapy, treatment response follow-up, and monitoring tumor progression in diverse clinical applications such as brain tumors, breast tumors, whole-body metastatic cancers in bone marrow or lymphoma, ovarian mass, etc.
Biomarker development
Developing advanced MR imaging techniques for identification of specific biomarkers, endpoints of in-vivo progression, and response to therapy in several diseases, such as cortical bone quantification in Osteoporosis.
Applications of Neuroimaging
Developing advanced anatomical and physiological MR imaging and spectroscopy quantification techniques for diagnosing neuro-pathologies such as multiple sclerosis, various brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke, etc.
The Quantitative Medical Imaging Systems Group (QMISG) is a multi-disciplinary magnetic resonance quantification research group established in 2012 at the Research Center for Molecular and Cellular Imaging (RCMCI). QMISG gathers interested researchers, scientists, and physicians who share a common concern in utilizing and developing novel imaging and computational technologies to provide a framework for accurate diagnosis of human diseases and monitoring the anatomical and physiological changes resulting from pathologies or in response to the planned treatment.
