Areas of focus
Sunnybrook Research Institute's cardiovascular MRI research group focuses on the following areas:
- Imaging for guidance of interventions for cardiovascular disease
Interventional guidance provides new possibilities to further aid in the treatment of patients with cardiac disease - Imaging in real-time
The coronary vessels have been the driving motivation for development of real-time methods characterizing and correcting for effects of motion in image acquisition - Functional cardiovascular imaging
The relationship between MR signal and underlying physiology in blood and tissue, such as measuring oxygen level, vascular volume and leakage space - Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
Automated methods to acquire robustly maps of the vasculature during first pass of a contrast agent
