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.
