Myocardial functional T1 mapping – Advanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging techniques
Stefan Piechnik
DSc, PhD, MScEE
Associate Professor of Biomedical Imaging
- Head of Advanced Cardiovascular Image Processing
I have approximately 30 years experience in interdisciplinary biomedical research, ranging from mathematical and biophysical modelling, measurement systems and methods design, direct clinical measurements, imaging and estimation using PET, SPECT, and MR, to clinical and self-assessment approaches. Applications include wide range of clinical specialties in Neurosciences (Neurosurgery, Neurology and Psychiatry), Dermatology, Cardiovascular and Internal Medicine. Over the course of my work I co-authored >100 research papers, attracting ~10'000 citations, resulting in a h-index of 53. My most recent focus is in the clinical application of CMR parametric tissue characterisation techniques, in particular T1 mapping.
