The Laboratory of Quantitative and Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging focuses on the development of novel MRI acquisition, reconstruction, and processing methods that enables rapid and informative MRI applications. Current application areas include dynamic MRI of moving organs (eg. upper-airway dynamics during speaking, free breathing cardiopulmonary MRI), and tumor characterization using quantitative MRI biomarkers. Our lab has access to state of the art research dedicated MRI scanners at the Magnetic Resonance Research Facility, and also to clinical scanners at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. We collaborate with several research and clinical faculty from the Departments of Radiology, Communication Sciences and Disorders, and Iowa Institute of Biomedical Imaging. |
