Research Fellow
I have worked with many different MRI modalities to date. In most projects, I was responsible for data processing and analysis. At the DRCMR, I want to pursue my interest in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and use it in combination with other MRI modalities to study tissue properties non-invasively
