Laboratory for Advanced MR Imaging and Spectroscopy (LAMIS) focuses on design and development of next generation MRI pulse sequences incorporated with MRI quality control/quality assurance facilities for both acquisition hardware and analysis software. LAMIS team invents innovative methodologies to generate novel contrast mechanisms leading to high accuracy, pathology specific, and hardware-driven biomarkers for disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Such paradigm design includes spin manipulation and simulation platform, pulse sequence design, on-demand hardware development, and application-specific reconstruction algorithm and quality control workflow.
- Spin Dynamics: Modeling and understanding of MR signal generation and acquisition mechanisms for different pulse sequences and imaging protocols
- MRI Simulation: Development of a MRI simulator platform to generate realistic images based on actual tissue characteristics embedded into Bloch equation modeling for different scenarios of k-space sampling, image contrast, image artefact, and noise
- Pulse Sequence Development: Developing next generation of MRI pulse sequences to create novel contrast mechanisms leading to high accuracy, pathology specific, and hardware-driven biomarkers for disease diagnosis and treatment planning
