GE Healthcare A-129 (PI Ennis)                                                          09.01.2022 to 08.31.2024

A-129 I Stanford Tiger Team 2022-2024: Advanced Cardiac Functional and Flow MRI for Pediatrics and Adults

The purpose of this proposal is to develop and refine several methods for fast and artifact free cardiac functional and flow imaging. This project leverages our prior experience applying deep learning-based reconstruction methods to 2D PC-MRI measurements and time-optimal pulse sequence design. By incorporating these novel methods, we aim to enable single-beat 2D PC-MRI and artifact free bSSFP cine imaging, we intend to generate a comprehensive flow and functional cardiac exam that can be widely used in the clinic
