High Spatio-temporal Resolution dynamic MRI: New Methods with Applications to Body and Neuroimaging

The Department of Medical Imaging is pleased to have Manoj Saranathan, PhD, presenting at our Grand Rounds on Wednesday, February 3rd, at 12:10 pm in the COM, Room 2117.

Dr. Saranathan is an Associate Professor, Research, in the Department of Medical Imaging. His broad research interests are in the area of fast imaging and ultra-high field imaging (7T). Specifically, Dr. Saranathan has been developing dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) techniques for imaging of cancer (breast, prostate and liver) using novel k-space acquisition and reconstruction strategies. These methods have also been applied for measurement of split renal function in pediatric patients as well as for fast T1 mapping in the brain. He has also been investigating deep brain structures such as the thalamus and hippocampus using novel imaging methods that can delineate subfields for targeting or disease progression.
