Project title: "Super Resolution algorithms and software tools for MR imaging techniques"
Collaborating institution: Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Boğaziçi University (Turkey)
About the project
A vast amount of radiological data is currently considered suboptimal, and is archived without further use due to their poor spatial resolution and sometimes low quality. Subtle indications of early disease stages are also missed for the same reason. The spatial resolution choice is about finding a good balance between image quality, voxel size and acquisition time. This project aims to deliver computational methods and software tools to increase the resolution of different modalities of magnetic resonance images (MRI) to ensure better brain research, diagnosis and timely treatment strategies.
Initially funded by the Royal Society Newton Mobility Grant in 2016, this collaboration is ongoing due to synergies in research interests,
