Career Sketch: Development of Cardiovascular MRI for clinical and basic science applications. 1. Development of magnetic resonance phase velocity mapping for assessing myocardial tissue motion and strain. 2. Use of phase contrast magnetic resonance (PCMR) and computational fluid mechanics (CFD) to examine the role of hemodynamics on the localization, development and progression of cardiovascular disease. 3. Imaging of atherosclerotic plaque to determine plaque composition and plaque vulnerability to rupture. 4. Use of PCMR and CFD to study hemodynamics of the mouse aorta. 5. Use of signal processing techniques to improve diagnosis of ventricular dyssynchrony.
