The LIRP and QIML groups have a number of new members joining Fall 2020: Dr. Thekla Oechtering and Dr. Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos are two radiologists from Germany that will be at UW for the next two years. Sheena Chu is joining Dr. Reeder’s group. Srijyotsna Volety and Aidan Tollefson are joining Dr. Hernando’s group (co-mentored with …
Dr. Diego Hernando is lead author on a single site study correlating complex R2* mapping with liver iron concentration. Hernando D, Cook RJ, Qazi N, Longhurst CA, Diamond CA, Reeder SB. Complex confounder-corrected R2* mapping for liver iron quantification with MRI. Eur Radiol. 2020 Aug 12. doi: 10.1007/s00330-020-07123-x. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 32785766. Abstract …
Recent graduate Dr. Xiaoke Wang is the lead author on a paper detailing a novel method for encoding T2 in the phase signal of GRE methods. Wang X, Hernando D, Reeder SB. Phase-based T2 mapping with gradient echo imaging. Magn Reson Med. 2020 Aug;84(2):609-619. doi: 10.1002/mrm.28138. Epub 2019 Dec 24. PMID: 31872470; PMCID: PMC7180093. Abstract …
Ruiyang Zhao is the lead author on a new paper demonstrating a novel free-breathing method for liver fat quantification. This method shows promise for imaging in patients that have difficulty with breath holds, such as pediatric populations. Zhao R, Zhang Y, Wang X, Colgan TJ, Rehm JL, Reeder SB, Johnson KM, Hernando D. Motion-robust, high-SNR …
We are excited to have three new members joining LIRP and QIML this fall! Ruvini Navaratna is joining us from Carnegie Melon University where she studied Physics with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. She will be pursuing a PhD in Medical Physics under Dr. Scott Reeder. Jitka Starekova, MD, is joining us as the new …
Camilo Campo first joined LIRP as a UW–Madison undergraduate student in 2013. After graduating in 2015, he continued on as an Associate Research Specialist for a year. During his time with LIRP, he worked on several projects spanning the areas of 4D flow MRI for portal hypertension, quantitative MRI biomarkers of hepatic steatosis and iron …
LIRP and QIML welcome Dr. Sasha Acher and Ruvini Navaratna to Madison and our research groups! Dr. Acher is a visiting research fellow supported by the Surgical Oncology T32 program and will be supervised by Dr. Reeder during two years of dedicated research time. She brings surgical expertise to our group, having completed her residency …
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program funds early stage technology commercialization and research. This is a collaborative NIH SBIR Phase II project between Calimetrix, LLC, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The overall goal of this project is to refine and evaluate advanced quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phantoms that mimic the simultaneous presence of …
Ante Zhu is the lead author on two recent papers on the development and evaluation of advanced chemical shift encoded (CSE) techniques in quantitative body MRI. The first of these works used ultra-short TE CSE technique to characterize a short-T2* MR signal component in the liver. This short-T2* signal is observed to confound liver fat quantification …
Yuxin (Annie) has been elected as the Trainee Representative to the Governing Committee of the ISMRM Quantitative MR Study Group!
