Generation of Physics-Based Synthetic Cerebrovascular 4D Flow MRI Data
Time-resolved volumetric phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) offers a non-invasive method to capture in-vivo blood flow patterns in the brain. However the accuracy and precision of the measurements cannot be quantified due to the lack of paired ground truth flow data with cerebrovascular MR measurements.

Deep Learning-based Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Denoising and Tensor Fitting
The project aims to investigate the potential of deep learning methods for image denoising and diffusion tensor fitting in cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI). By mitigating the modality’s inherently low SNR, deep learning approaches may enable shorter scan times and facilitate the translation of cDTI from a research tool into routine clinical practice.

Evaluating nnU-Net Robustness for Aortic and Ventricular Segmentation in heavily undersampled 3D Radial PC-bSSFP
This project evaluates how pretrained nnU-Net models perform when input images are progressively degraded to mimic the undersampling and artifacts of 3D radial PC-bSSFP, determining up to what degradation level reliable aortic and ventricular segmentation—and resulting physiological parameters—can still be obtained.

Learning Based Estimation of Pulse Wave Velocity from Noisy Low Resolution Data
Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a key biomarker of cardiovascular health. It can be estimated using phase-contrast (PC) MRI, with both data-driven and physics-informed neural networks, but the accuracy of these methods needs to be validated against ground truth.

Quantification of myocardial blood perfusion from cardiac perfusion MRI using physics-informed neural networks (PINN)
Ischemia is a less-than-normal amount of blood flow to part of your body. It can happen particularly in heart and brain which causes severe life-threatening conditions. However, most of the current imaging technics only provides qualitative assessment, resulting in uncertainty in determining the severity of the disease. This study focuses on assessment of ischemia in heart muscles (myocardium) using cardiac perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (Perfusion MRI) and physics-informed neural networks (PINN) to quantify the level of perfusion in different locations of myocardium.
