Dynamic Fetal Cardiac MRI
We are looking for a motivated master’s thesis student to help develop and implement image processing techniques for reconstructing low-resolution MR images into a 4D high-resolution dynamic image of the fetal heart.
Keywords: Fetal Cardiac MRI
Fetal MRI is a new and exciting aspect of clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allowing earlier diagnosis of congenital defects and improved prenatal planning. However, fetal and maternal movement remain a challenge in acquiring high quality images. This is especially true in fetal cardiac MR imaging, as we are interested in both the structure and function of the heart, which means a high spatial and temporal resolution is required in order to be clinically useful.

•Investigate existing 4D fetal cardiac algorithms (with and without gating) to determine applicability.
•Implement a medical image processing pipeline that will allow the original low-resolution fetal cardiac images to be reconstructed into a high resolution dynamic image
•Analyse fetal data using the pipeline
