Observing the movement of water with diffusion MRI provides great insights into tissue abnormalities. However, at the voxel (2-20mm3) level there often are multiple tissue types with different diffusion and relaxation properties. In this project you will investigate and advance advanced multi-compartment diffusion-relaxometry acquisitions that can disentangle these tissues. To achieve trust and clinical usability, the results of such acquisitions should be stable in time and similar across scanners with differences in hardware performances. By harmonizing the acquisition where possible and training deep leaning based analysis methods to be invariant to the residual scanner differences diagnostic utility and trustworthiness of the results is maximized.
Your tasks will include:
This vacancy is part of the Marie Curie project IQ-BRAIN. For this project, we foresee secondments to research and commercial partners in the consortium.
The research will be conducted at the MR physics group as well as the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam (BIGR), which are part of the department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine of the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam. The department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine of the Erasmus MC is one of the largest medical imaging departments in Europe with 10 clinical MRI scanners at several field strengths. The department has an international and diverse character with a good balance between internationally recognised, high-end research and an excellent social working environment. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, belief, culture, place of birth or occupational impairment when recruiting and selecting staff and students.
