Learning to sample in Cartesian MRI

Thomas Sanchez

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing imaging modality with unmatched soft tissue contrast. However, compared to imaging methods like X-ray radiography, MRI suffers from long scanning times, due to its inherently sequential acqui ...

Measuring compartmental T-2-orientational dependence in human brain white matter using a tiltable RF coil and diffusion-T-2 correlation MRI

Muhamed Barakovic

The anisotropy of brain white matter microstructure manifests itself in orientational-dependence of various MRI contrasts, and can result in significant quantification biases if ignored. Understanding the origins of this orientation-dependence could enhanc ...

Engineering Parallel Transmit/Receive Radio-Frequency Coil Arrays for Human Brain MRI at 7 Tesla

Jérémie Daniel Clément

Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in medical diagnosis to obtain anatomical details of the human body in a non-invasive way. Clinical MR scanners typically operate at a static magnetic field strength (B0) of 1.5T or 3T. However, going to higher fie ...

Structurally-Informed Deconvolution Of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Younes Farouj, Mert Inan

Neural activity occurs in the shape of spatially organized patterns: networks of brain regions activate in synchrony. Many of these functional networks also happen to be strongly structurally connected. We use this information to revisit the fundamental pr ...
