Tissue Bio-physicochemical Quantification Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2023–2026)
Abstract:
This project aims to develop novel magnetic resonance imaging methods to investigate tissue structure and
function. Current MRI technologies use standard water-based contrast mechanisms to generate images with
limited tissue information. In contrast, this project expects to provide a non-invasive, ultra-high-resolution MRI
technology that measures the electrical, magnetic, and chemical signals generated from the human body. Thus,
the new imaging methods can probe deeper biological functionality while examining tissue structure. The potential
benefits include: expanding the scope and capabilities of current MRI, facilitating a wide range of imaging-based
research and applications, and accelerating knowledge expansion in life science.
