Publications

Whole-heart coronary MR angiography using a 3D cones phyllotaxis trajectory.

Phyllotaxis 3D cones results in improved qualitative image scores & coronary vessel sharpness for whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography.

3D image-based navigators for coronary MR angiography.

The ability to acquire isotropic-resolution 3D iNAVs every heartbeat during a CMRA scan was demonstrated.

Nonrigid motion correction with 3D image-based navigators for coronary MR angiography.

We have developed a nonrigid motion-correction method based on 3D iNAVs and an autofocusing algorithm that improves the vessel sharpness of free-breathing whole-heart coronary MRA.

Off-resonance-robust velocity-selective magnetization preparation for non-contrast-enhanced peripheral MR angiography.

Non-contrast-enhanced MRA using the new VS magnetization preparation can reliably provide high angiographic contrast in the lower extremities with significantly improved immunity to field inhomogeneity.

Nonrigid autofocus motion correction for coronary MR angiography with a 3D cones trajectory.

The proposed technique corrects nonrigid motion artifacts in free-breathing 3D cones acquisitions, improving image quality compared to rigid-body motion correction.

Non-contrast-enhanced peripheral angiography using a sliding interleaved cylinder acquisition.

Non-contrast-enhanced angiography using SLINCYL can provide angiograms with improved artery-vein contrast in the lower extremities.

Rapid single-breath-hold 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI using a stack-of-spirals acquisition.

Stack-of-spiral acquisition combined with non-Cartesian SPIRiT parallel imaging enables rapid 3D LGE MRI in a 12 heartbeat-long breath-hold.

Combined outer volume suppression and T2 preparation sequence for coronary angiography.

OVS-T2 Prep is a compact sequence: can accelerate coronary MRA by suppressing signals from tissues surrounding the heart while enhancing blood-myocard contrast.

High-resolution variable-density 3D cones coronary MRA.

Coronary MR angiography with isotropic submillimeter spatial resolution and high temporal resolution can be performed with VD 3D cones to improve the depiction of coronary arteries.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance phase contrast imaging.

Comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in CMR phase contrast imaging methodology and clinical applications.

Self-gated fat-suppressed cardiac cine MRI.

The proposed self-gated ATR-SSFP sequence enables fat-suppressed cardiac cine imaging at 1.5 T without the need for ECG gating and without decreasing the imaging efficiency of ATR-SSFP.
