Quantitative Hemodynamic Imaging in Cerebrovascular Diseases
Summary
Cerebrovascular diseases are a major public health issue and could greatly benefit from quantitative cerebral hemodynamic imaging. Our main interest is the technical implementation and clinical translation of novel imaging techniques for hemodynamic imaging with the main goal to characterize hemodynamic alterations in cerebrovascular diseases and their impact on neurocognitive processes. We have implemented several quantitative hemodynamic imaging techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in close cooperation with partners in research and industry.
Projects
- Implementation of MRI-based quantitative perfusion and oxygenation imaging
- Software engineering of automated pipelines for clinical data processing
- AI-based automated hemodynamic segmentations
- Hemodynamics and cognition in carotid artery stenosis
- Collateral blood flow pattern characterization
- Oxygen diffusivity mapping
- Clinical ASL applications
