The MR Physics group is divided into several research environments or subgroups. The subgroup structure is dynamic and the number of subgroups as well as the research topics therefore varies over time. Subgroups, forming a “vertical” organisation structure in the group, are always encouraged to collaborate, thereby forming “horizontal/translational" collaborative structures, often defined by parti

BackgroundChemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI is a new technology that can detect low (millimolar) concentrations of natural non-metallic magnetic marker molecules through the presence of groups with exchangeable protons, such as hydroxyls (OH), amides (NH) and amines (NH2). These protons interact with the water protons detected in MRI through physical exchange, generally referred to

BackgroundIn diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Specific WorkData from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image

BackgroundFunctional MRI (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique for the study of brain function that utilizes changes in blood flow and volume accompanying brain activation. When neuronal activation occurs, local blood flow increases, leading to an increase in oxygenated blood. The different magnetic properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood yields signal changes in the MRI images. This effect i

BackgroundPerfusion MRI typically refers to MRI-based measurements of microcirculatory parameters such as blood flow, blood volume and blood mean transit time. Imaging of perfusion-related parameters is of relevance in, for example, studies of dementia and trauma, assessment of the ischemic penumbra in acute ischemic stroke (in combination with diffusion MRI) to facilitate treatment decisions, inv

Background and AimWe develop and implement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for evaluation and diagnosis of musculoskeletal disease. Specifically, we focus on studies of early stage osteoarthritis (OA) which is the most common chronic condition of the joints. It is characterized by breakdown of joint cartilage but the whole joint is involved in the development of the disease. For example,

IntroductionQuantitative MR means turning an MR scanner (the happy snappy camera of the radiologists) into am instrument for quantitative measurements (for the curious MR physicists) to determine volumes, concentrations of metabolites and contrast agents and the biophysical properties of tissue. The latter are presented as “parameter” maps, which are calculated from primary MR images. Quantitative
