The researchgroup mVISION in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging
Position
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is key for diagnosing musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries and monitoring after therapy. However, conventional MRI is subjective and has limitations in terms of image resolution and quality. The principal goal of this PhD project is to apply and evaluate a super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) framework for anatomical and quantitative imaging of the MSK system, with a particular focus on internal derangement of joints and skeletal muscle injuries. SRR qMRI could open up exciting possibilities to help inform return to sports after MSK injury and evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments. Sequence optimization is performed in collaboration with the imec-Vision Lab of UAntwerp (dept. of physics). Finally, sequences will be tested in volunteers and patients at the MRI department of the Antwerp University Hospital (UZA).
