Avinash Kali (Dharmakumar Lab) has been awarded the Summa Cum Laude Merit Award for the 20th Annual ISMRM Meeting for his abstract entitled "Temporal Features of Edema in Acute Myocardial Infarction: T2 Maps vs T2-STIR". (April 2012)
Dr. Debiao Li has been elected as Program Director of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Cardiac MR Study Group. (March 2012)
Dr. Zhaoyang Fan (Li Lab) has been awarded the Magna Cum Laude Merit Award for the 20th Annual ISMRM Meeting for his abstract entitled “3D Variable-Flip-Angle TSE with Prospective Self-Gating of Swallowing Motion: Initial Experience in Carotid Artery Wall MRI”. (April 2012)
Dr. Behzad Sharif (Li Lab) was awarded a 2-year, $75,000 American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship grant for his project entitled "Whole-heart Myocardial Perfusion MRI: Artifact-minimized Projection Imaging". The main aim of the project is to develop and validate a new MRI acquisition and reconstruction scheme that significantly improves the accuracy of cardiac perfusion imaging by eliminating the so-called dark-rim artifacts and improving the spatial resolution beyond the limit of the current methods.
