Research Interest
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique to produce high quality images of the human/animal body. MRI is based on magnetic resonance of nucleus (e.g. 1H or proton) to obtain chemical and physical information about molecules. In medical practice, MRI is used to distinguish pathological tissue (such as a tumor) from normal tissue. MRI scan is harmless since it uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionizing radiation in the radio frequency range, compared to CT scans and X-rays which involve doses of ionizing radiation. Also, MRI provides a high contrast resolution of the soft tissue.
