Dissertation Talk: Accelerated Single-Scan Multi-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Presentation | May 3 | 11 a.m.-12 p.m. | 490 Cory Hall
Jon Tamir, EECS, UC Berkeley
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)
Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful medical imaging modality for visualizing tissue contrast, but its long scan times remain a limitation. In this talk I will present accelerated MRI acquisition and reconstruction techniques that recover multiple images of varying tissue contrast from a single scan, thereby reducing overall exam times.

Abstract: The human brain is a complex organ characterized by heterogeneous patterns of interconnections. New non-invasive imaging techniques now allow for these patterns to be carefully and comprehensively mapped in individual humans, paving the way for a better understanding of how wiring supports our thought processes. While a large body of work now focuses on descriptive statistics to... More >
