MRI Sequence Development

Research profile

Our goal is the development of innovative pulse sequences and image reconstructions for MR imaging. In order to generate MR images from a subject, its magnetization within the main magnetic field has to be manipulated by radiofrequency and magnetic field gradient pulses. The timing of all pulses and signal detection is referred to as sequence. Sequences can be tailored to particular needs under given constraints and require custom image reconstructions. Working with sequences involves profound knowledge of MR physics and software engineering skills. Our research aims to improve noninvasive diagnosis of healthy and diseased tissue by sophisticated MR imaging sequences.
