Research Interest:
The research in my lab focuses on the development quantitative MRI techniques for non-invasively assessing perfusion, diffusion, water exchange, neuro-metabolites and oxidative metabolism in multiple organs such as brain, kidney, liver and musculoskeletal tissues. I have proposed and validated the biophysical mechanism for observed tissue MR phase contrast among different brain tissue types. I have developed several novel innovative MRI techniques to assess microscopic organization and micro-circulation in human tendons and ligaments. I have extensive research on using arterial spin labeling (ASL) to probe the water exchange in multiple body organs, including kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and filtration fraction, brain transmembrane water transport, and blood- brain barrier (BBB) water permeability. My recent work on IDEALS approach enables whole-brain BBB water permeability applicable to multiple neurological and psychiatric diseases.
