PhD Student in Perfusion MRI: The University of Antwerp is offering a doctoral scholarship for a motivated and talented PhD student to develop model-based reconstruction methods for quantitative super-resolution perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This exciting opportunity is part of a collaborative effort in cutting-edge research related to arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI, aimed at overcoming challenges in spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio.
Designation
PhD Student in Quantitative Super-Resolution Perfusion MRI
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Quantitative Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MRI |
| Location | University of Antwerp, Belgium |
| Regime | Full-time |
Research Area
The research focuses on developing model-based super-resolution reconstruction methods for high-resolution ASL MRI, aimed at quantifying cerebral blood flow (CBF). Both physics-based models and physics-informed deep learning approaches will be explored.
Eligibility / Qualification
