Info

My favorite topics in MR involve the development of new imaging techniques, in particular at ultra-high magnetic field strength (7T). This covers anything from designing and programming a new MR sequence in C++ over careful phantom testing at the MR scanner to initial evaluations in volunteer scans. Currently my team is focusing on the implementation and testing of advanced Molecular MR imaging techniques. This includes in particular MR spectroscopic imaging techniques (1H- and 31P-nuclei) and more recently related techniques such as chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST), but also Diffusion weighted imaging and X-nuclei MRI in general. Moreover, I have a fair share of expertise in a large variety of image acquisition and image/data processing techniques: (adiabatic) RF pulse design, imaging acceleration (spiral sampling, parallel imaging), real-time motion correction, dynamic B0 shimming, coil combination, NMR simulations …

While I do of course as a physicist enjoy technical development, I am equally excited to watch our new methods being applied in different patient studies. Therefore, we are currently performing several patient studies involving neurological diseases (e.g., brain tumor, Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis patients), oncologic topics (e.g., breast cancer), and various metabolic disorders.
