Our Vision

To establish a distinguished research program that integrates basic development and clinical applications of MR imaging, spectroscopy, and MR-guided interventions for improved patient outcomes.

Our Mission

To develop and evaluate diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic MRI technologies including quantitative imaging that can be translated into clinical practice for improved patient outcomes and/or contribute to the knowledge of human physiology and diseases.

About Us

The MRI Research program in the Department of Radiology brings together a number of internationally recognized laboratories and investigators in the basic development and clinical applications of MR imaging, spectroscopy, and MR-guided interventions. The goals of the program are to carry out fundamental research that may lead either to the development of new techniques and interventions using MRI or to an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of disease for diagnosis and treatment. One of the important goals is to translate these advances rapidly into clinical practice, thereby improving the fundamental capabilities of diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic imaging for improved patient care.
