Professor David Lurie
My interests lie in the development of new technology and methods in MRI to solve problems in bio-medicine. Together with my group I have worked on methods of imaging free radicals by MRI, and on techniques for imaging solid materials with ultra-short T2 relaxation times. In recent years, my research has focussed on fast field-cycling (FFC) MRI , where the magnetic field is switched rapidly during the imaging procedure. In this way, FFC can access contrast mechanisms which are invisible to conventional MRI. My group has built a variety of MRI scanners over the years, including whole-body sized FFC-MRI scanners. We are currently investigating the use of FFC-MRI in a range of biological and medical research applications.
