A Unified Framework for Motion and Strain Imaging in MRI

Brief Abstract:

Motion and strain imaging using magnetic resonance has proven to be a valuable research
tool and is verging on widespread clinical application in heart disease diagnosis and treatment
monitoring. In this talk, both the imaging techniques of MR tagging and stimulated echoes as
well as the image analysis methods of HARP, DENSE, and SENC will be placed on a common
"spectrum" of techniques for imaging motion and strain. The techniques will be described and
common capabilities as well as tradeoffs and overall limitations in performance will be illustrated.
Opportunities for future research will be discussed.


Brief Biography:

Jerry L. Prince received the B.S. degree from the University of Connecticut in 1979 and the
S.M., E.E., and Ph.D. degrees in 1982, 1986, and 1988, respectively, from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, all in electrical engineering and computer science. He has worked as
an engineer at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, MIT Lincoln Laboratories, and The Analytic
Sciences Corporation (TASC). He joined the faculty at the Johns Hopkins University in 1989,
where he is currently William B. Kouwenhoven Professor in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering and holds joint appointments in the Departments of Radiology, Biomedical
Engineering, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Dr. Prince is a Fellow
of the IEEE and a member of Sigma Xi. He also holds memberships in Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa
Nu, and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. He was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on
Image Processing from 1992-1995, an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
from 2000-2004 and is currently a member of the Editorial Board of Medical Image Analysis.
Dr. Prince received a 1993 National Science Foundation Presidential Faculty Fellows Award
and was Maryland's 1997 Outstanding Young Engineer. He is also co-founder of Diagnosoft, Inc.,
a medical imaging software company. His current research interests are in image processing
and computer vision with primary application to medical imaging and has published over 300
articles and abstracts on these subjects.
