Our Research

Cardiac fMRI (cfMRI)

Needleless Myocardial Ischemia Detection

Our flagship technology represents a breakthrough in cardiac imaging. Cardiac functional MRI (cfMRI) is a revolutionary method for detecting coronary artery dysfunction without the risks associated with traditional methods.

Technology Overview

Clinical Impact

cfMRI provides millions of patients with potential myocardial ischemic diseases a minimum risk solution for examining their coronary circulation without the potential harm from standard clinical exams.

Key Advantages

Cardiac Energetic Imaging

Advanced imaging techniques to assess cardiac metabolism and energy production in the heart muscle. This research helps us understand how the heart generates and uses energy, particularly in diseased states.

Applications

High-Order MR Field Correction

Cutting-edge methods to improve MRI image quality by correcting for magnetic field inhomogeneities. This research enables clearer, more accurate cardiac images.

Technical Innovations

Data Management Query System

A powerful web-based tool for managing and querying cardiac imaging research datasets. This custom-built system enables efficient organization, search, and analysis of lab data files including DICOM, IMA, DAT, and MAT formats.
