Associated Lab Members
Dr. Pascal Spincemaille is an associate professor of physics research in radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. He received his master’s degree, and his postdoctoral degree, in physics from the Katholieke Universteit Leuven, Belgium. He has worked on the development of free-breathing cardiac imaging, including coronary artery and delayed enhancement imaging; the first reported vastly accelerated (below 1s temporal frame rate) 3D spiral dynamic contrast enhanced imaging; and various fundamental contributions to quantitative susceptibility mapping in the brain, liver and heart.
Jiahao Li is a Ph.D. student in the biomedical engineering (BME) program at Cornell University. He grew up in China and completed his B.S. in engineering physics and economics at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He is interested in signal and image processing and reconstruction. His main project is on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; specifically, he is developing a novel magnetic resonance (MR) data acquisition and reconstruction scheme for cardiac quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).

Liver cancer is an increasing burden on public health. Currently, a 3D multi-phase contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is used to separate the arterial from the venous blood supply to any lesion to...

The goal of the proposed research is to develop a sensitive and early measurement of treatment response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most prevalent...
The goal of this research is to develop cardiac quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, for non-invasive measurement of blood oxygen saturation in the heart—an index that strongly predicts clinical outcomes but...
