Sub-theme: Cardiac tissue characterisation with MRI

This project develops the acquisition, processing and translation of novel Magnetic Resonance imaging methods. These methods exploit the differing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) properties of tissue driven by relaxation mechanisms and mobility of the water at the microscopic scale. The output is images and maps that allow differentiation and diagnosis of common cardiac conditions seen in the clinic.
