Institute for High Dimensional Medical Imaging

The goal of our research is to develop new imaging systems that can be applied to clinical medicine now and in the future. High-dimensional, i.e., 3-dimensional (3D) and 4dimensional (4D), imaging techniques have enabled noninvasive, realistic, uninhibited, and accurate observations of human spatial structures and their dynamics. The availability of real-time imaging using high-performance comp...
