Distortion-free MRI Acquisition

Overview:

I had an opportunity to work with Dr. GUO, Hua at Tsinghua University to compare a distortion-free MRI acquisition technique (PSF-DWI) with traditional MRI sequences used at hospitals. This new approach may lead to better early disease diagnosis but needs a large-scale user study. I coordinated a large-scale data collection process by collaborating with local hospitals and successfully collected MRI raw data on 60 patients. The exam card parameters were fine-tuned for optimal image results on a 3T Phillips MRI machine. The data was used to train an AI model by Phillips Engineers. Potential future work includes MRI DICOM rendering in VR for better visualization, manipulation, and pre-operation planning. The work was accepted to ISMRM 2024 as digital poster.
