MR Fingerprinting has seen much development in the clinic field since its introduction almost 10 years ago. Usage in preclinical settings have been less and Emmanuel Barbier discusses the status of the method in preclinical research and his work in this area while taking the viewer through a virtual video tour of his institute.
Emmanuel Barbier starts out this webinar with an inside look into his lab, taking the viewer on a video tour of GIN, Grenoble Institut Neurosciences and IRMaGe, where the BioSpec 94/20 and BioSpec 47/40 are hosted along with an MRI CryoProbe, an EEG, and surgery rooms. He briefly shows us some of his past and current work, including the ASL package, which was developed together with Bruker, MEGAPRESS, Compressed Sensing, and focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain-barrier, before moving onto the topic of MR Fingerprinting and specifically, MR Fingerprinting of the vasculature.
He discusses advances in the field, including a statistical dictionary learning approach and MR Fingerprinting in the area of subvoxel microvascular networks. He additionally discusses an optimization of acquisition patterns to minimize to minimize error on T1 and T2.
