Metin Can Isik is back with the research group. He worked with us as an engineer from 2022 to 2026 and left in July. He has now started an M.S. degree at Bogazici University, supervised by Cengizhan Ozturk, with Ergin Atalar as his co-supervisor.
Welcome back, Metin.
Our research group will present 4 abstracts in the 2026 ISMRM & ISMRT Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Cape Town, South Africa. Abstracts are: Metin Isik received an E. K. Zavoisky Stipend award. Abdullah Erkam received the trainee award
Manoucher Takrimi authored an article on the eddy current losses in Magnetic Resonance in Medince. The article is visible in the offical web page. In this research, a novel method is introduced to enhance the performance of gradient array coils used in medical imaging. The approach relies on a computational electromagnetic strategy to estimate and…
Metin Can Isik left our research group after working with us as an engineer. He will be working at ASELSAN-UGES. We thank him for his contributions and wish him success in his professional career.
Ergin Atalar will be at NHLBI (National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute), NIH from September 2024 to September 2025. During his stay at NHLBI, Dr. Atalar will collaborate with his colleagues Drs. Robert Lederman and Adrienne Campbell-Washburn and their teams. The NHBLI teams have significant contributions to the MRI-guided cardiovascular interventions field. Most recently, they…
Excitation using nonlinear gradient magnetic fields is investigated as a means of sub-volume magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conventional gradient fields provide encoding along a single direction, whereas nonlinear gradient fields encode information simultaneously along at least two directions. This leads to excitation regions (FOX) that have curvilinear boundaries, which may be more tolerant to aliasing…
Purpose To enhance the SNR in MRI within a localized region of interest using a novel interventional wireless RF resonator probe combined with a dual-drive pTx system. Methods A dual-drive body birdcage coil was operated in a linearly-polarized mode to decouple a passive RF resonator probe from the transmit field while maintaining the resonator in…
