About us...
The Advanced Medical Imaging (AMI) Lab is interested in developing new
methods and techniques for imaging the human body. Special interest of
the lab is using MRI for imaging mechanical characteristic of static tissue
(as in case of Elastography) and motion and deformation of some organs
of the body, specifically the heart.
The lab consists of academic faculty and students of Johns Hopkins University.
The team is currently small, but we are rapidly growing, both in number
and in depth. The teamwork is the backbone for our work, and collaboration
with other scientists, engineers, and physician, both inside and outside
Johns Hopkins University, is another pillar for our lab.
Why MRI?
MRI is a fascinating device capable of producing different types of images that can reveal anatomical (morphological) and physiological information of the body. While it is well established modality in some cases, for example the brain, spine, and the joints, MRI is actively expanding into other fields of medicine. Research in MRI is always attractive because it is a research in the forefront of medical discoveries. Because of this, we believe that our research in MRI is an advanced contribution to medical imaging

A new program has been established between the Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department (ECE), School of Engineering, and the division
of Magnetic Resonance Research (MRR), Department of Radiology, School
of Medicine. The program is called "The Radiological Imaging Graduate
Program (RIGP)". Please CLICK
