Stephanie Hougen with Mark GriswoldModeling Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting Signals in the Presence of ExchangeMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has many applications in our current healthcare system. The MRI group at CWRU has recently introduced a new imaging technique, magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF), that presents a new quantitative approach to imaging....

Sean Kinzler with Michael MartensDesign of a Persistent Switch for 0.35T Magnesium DiBoride Superconducting MagnetsRecent progress in magnet design and persistent joints using for the magnesium diboride, MgB2, superconductor has made clear the increasingly important role of the persistent switch in magnet quench protection. The persistent switch is used...

Significance of Image Heterogeneity in Multi-Modality Medical Imaging
Heterogeneous features have been observed in clinical PET-CT and PET-MRI imaging of tumors. The significance of this heterogeneity is not well understood but may have prognostic value for clinicians. To advance understanding of this parameter, an investigation of...

Persistent Switch Design for MgB2 Superconducting Magnet
High quality MRI imaging requires that the main magnetic field remain temporally stable to within 0.1 ppm per hour, which is achieved by operating the main superconducting magnet in persistent current mode. After a power supply...

Desktop MRI Console
In modern MRI courses there is a severe lack of hands on interactions with clinical MRI machines due to the high cost of the equipment. The goal of this three phase project is to design a desktop sized MRI scanner to be used...
