Mice abdominal vessel wall imaging with or without contrast agents
Webinar Overview
After joining Tsinghua CBIR with a focus on cardiovascular imaging, she investigated several techniques on Bruker 9.4T platforms, for abdominal vessel wall MRI of ApoE mice models. These techniques allow for vessel plaque imaging, either without contrast agents or with inflammation-targeting probes. Besides, she utitlized AI to enhance CEST Zspectra acquired at 3T scanners, by learning from 9.4T high-field ones.
