Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic technique able to provide high spatial resolution and excellent contrast for soft tissues in a non-invasive manner, thanks to the use of non-ionizing radiation. However, MRI mainly remains a qualitative method, since the pointwise intensity of an MR image is modulated by the underlying tissue properties but does not directly represent a biophysical quantity, whose measurement requires tailored acquisition techniques with an excessive duration for the clinical routine.
For this reason, many approaches to accelerate these quantitative measurements have been developed during the years, both with more efficient signal sampling techniques and advanced image reconstruction methods.
In this seminar, the basic principles of quantitative MRI will be presented, together with an overview of the main acceleration strategies used to enable its application in a clinical setting. In addition, the possible future developments in the context of the new INFN PREDATOR project (Pushing quantitative magnetic REsonance imaging using Deep learning And compuTatiOnally efficient Reconstruction methods) will be discussed.
Il seminario si terrà in presenza nella sala 250 e via zoom al seguente indirizzo:
