Dec 2019: Joseph featured as a Dare to Discover research scholar. He is also featured in the Iowa city's downtown banner campaign. Well deserved, Joseph!

Nov 2019: US patent on a computationally inexpensive and efficient streak artifact reduction algorithm in volumetric radial MRI approved. 

Oct 2019: Paper on "Tracer Kinetic models as temporal constraints in DCE-MRI" accepted in Medical Physics. Code is available on github.

Sep 2019: Our review paper entitled "Accelerated dynamic MRI using learned representations" is accepted in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (IEEE-SPM) in a special issue on "Computational MRI: Compressed Sensing and Beyond". 

Sep 2019: Paper entitled "Impact of k-t sampling on DCE-MRI tracer kinetic parameter estimation" is accepted in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. 

Aug 2019: Nikhil Rajulapati's abstract on fast dynamic MRI to study swallowing has been accepted for presentation in the 2019 annual BMES meeting to be held in Philadelphia. Congrats, Nikhil!

Aug 2019: Rushdi Zahid Rusho, Subin Erattakulangara, and Wahidul Alam join the lab as PhD graduate students. Welcome to the lab Rushdi, Subin, and Wahid!

May 2019: Nikhil Rajulapati and Joseph Kettelkamp join the lab as under-graduate researchers. Welcome to the lab Nikhil, and Joseph!

April 2019: Call for papers to the IEEE-International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (IEEE-ISBI 2020) to be held in Iowa city is out. Please consider submitting.

Feb 2019: Two abstracts on enabling robust dynamic speech MRI at 3 Tesla accepted as an oral, and a digital poster presentation at the 27th annual meeting of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine to be held in Montreal, May 2019. 

Jan 2019: Pilot funding received from the Institue of Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS)  at Univ. of Iowa. The grant (PI: Dr. Alejandro Comellas, MD) will study the effects of electronic cigarettes in young adults using novel multi-modal imaging measures (specifically from lung CT, upper-airway MRI, cardiac MRI, hyperpolarized MRI).
