Research Focus
Development and clinical application of fast MR imaging techniques for the evaluation of the cardiovascular system.
Research Contributions
Developed various MRI methods for fast imaging of the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery MR angiography, atherosclerosis imaging, myocardial perfusion, and myocardial blood oxygenation evaluation.
Current investigations include:
Developing fast MRI techniques to acquire high-resolution images of coronary arteries; detecting the presence and characterizing the composition of atherosclerosis using MRI; measuring blood flow and blood oxygen level in the heart muscle using MRI; developing real-time MR imaging techniques for guiding vascular interventional procedures for cardiac disease treatments.
