The MR Methods Research Group develops techniques for in vivo MRI, focusing on quantitative mapping and non-invasive imaging markers for diagnostic imaging and patient follow-up. They also work with clinical medical physics to integrate MRI into radiation therapy, optimizing protocols and evaluating images.
