Research focus
The project aims towards obtaining greater MR image quality by combining MRI recordings with non-MRI data acquired by the scanner simultaneously. Using separate channels of the scanner for modulated non-MR signals, it is possible to measure each with the same temporal resolution as the MR recording and in perfect synchronicity with this.
The proposed method will enhance the applicability of MRI by addressing known MRI challenges such as patient motion correction and hardware imperfections.
The project is carried out from both DTU Electrical Engineering and Danish Research Center for Magnetic Resonance at Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, providing access to scanners. It also involves development of hardware, eg. electronics for real-time processing of signals acquired during MRI.
