Last month, Medical Delta PhD candidate Martijn Nagtegaal graduated with honors. His thesis, ‘Estimation of multiple components and parameters in kwantitatieve MRI’, provides technical and clinical solutions for MR Fingerprinting, a technique to quickly quantify different tissue types and their water interactions using a single MRI scan.
Nagtegaal's research is part of the scientific program Medical Delta Diagnostics 3.0: Dementia and Stroke, with shared supervision from TU Delft, Erasmus MC, and LUMC (Dr. Frans Vos, Prof. Dr. Ir. Thijs van Osch, Dr. Jeroen de Bresser, and Dr. Dirk Poot).
Nagtegaal's implementations are promising for faster patient scans, tissue characterization, better motion correction, and more, which could also accelerate and improve clinical MRI for neurodegenerative diseases. Earlier, an interview with him about his research was published. This interview can be read here.
