Bi-weekly Lecture Series: Bruno Madore, Ph.D

Title: Synthetic/quantitative MRI, and sensor-aided imaging


Abstract:

Sensor-aided imaging methods will be described whereby the acquired data does not come only from the MRI scanner, but from one or more sensor(s) as well; the general idea is that the additional information, from the sensor(s), should enable improved MR images. On a related but distinct note, the images acquired with an MRI scanner are typically qualitative in nature, in the sense that individual pixels are associated with numerical values but these values have no physical meaning or units such as meters or seconds, for example. Methods will be described here that generate quantitative maps of MRI-related parameters such as T1 and T2, and these maps can then be used to synthesise/calculate further MR images if so desired. Overall, while quantitative, synthetic and sensor-aided imaging can extend the range and abilities of MRI as an imaging modality, ultimately the value of these approaches and concepts will be judged on how much they may improve clinical workflow in specific applications.

Bio:

Bruno Madore obtained a BSc in physics from Laval University in Québec City and a PhD in medical biophysics from the University of Toronto, and he performed postdoctoral studies at Stanford University. He is currently associate professor at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and he serves as senior deputy editor for physics and techniques for the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. His research interests include hybrid, synthetic, and sensor-aided forms of medical imaging.

FNNDSC Studies Currently Recruiting




You may be eligible to participate in the pilot study of the Healthy Brain and Child Development Study! The pilot study involves 1-2 visits to give feedback on study activities about child development. Study activities include questionnaires, biological sampling, parent-child play tasks, and child brain assessments. All study assessments and procedures will be provided free of charge. You will be compensated for your time spent participating in the study and for transportation costs. Please email hbcd@childrens.harvard.edu or call 617-919-1726 for more information.
