Imaging in real-time
Real-time project
The real-time project is a joint project between Stanford and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. We are using the challenge of imaging coronary vessels to motivate the development of our real-time imaging capabilities.
Projects include:
- General development of a real-time MR platform - Juan Santos

Pauly, “Integrated Real-Time Localization for Magnetic Resonance Coronary Angiography”, in revision for IEEE Trans. Med. Imaging, April 2004. - Real-time pre-scan to optimize coronary imaging parameters - Jeff Stainsby
