Dr. Vasanawala's group is focused on developing new MRI techniques, and in particular, developing novel applications for children. They take a comprehensive approach, exploring novel hardware, MRI pulse sequence techniques, and motion correction methods. These approaches are then evaluated for cardiovascular, abdominal, and musculoskeletal pediatric MRI exams. Additionally, they seek to develop quantitative MRI methods, including those for cardiovascular function, renal function, and tumor perfusion.
