Dr. Riccardo Lattanzi, NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Date
The Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Invites the Research Community:
Quantitative musculoskeletal MR imaging: from basic research to clinical translation
Riccardo Lattanzi, PhD
Professor and Director Center for Biomedical Imaging
NYU Grossman School of Medicine
In quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, rather than producing clinical images to evaluate tissue morphology, the acquired MR data are used to extract reproducible quantitative information about tissue composition and function. This research seminar will review some of our recent work on quantitative musculoskeletal MR imaging, including new methods for compositional MR imaging of cartilage and kinematic analysis of joint motion. In particular, the seminar will present novel approaches for MR data acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis, which aim to translate quantitative musculoskeletal MR imaging into clinical practice for early diagnosis and longitudinal monitoring of joint disorders.
Hosted by: Dr. Sharmila Majumdar, Dr. Janine Lupo, and Dr. Valentina Pedoia.

Speakers
Riccardo Lattanzi is a Professor of Radiology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering at the New York University (NYU), where he is the Director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging. He also serves as the Director of training for the Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research (CAI2R) and as the Director of the PhD program in Biomedical Imaging and Technology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
His research work lies at the boundary between physics, engineering and medicine. He investigates fundamental principles involving the interactions of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields with biological tissue in order to develop new techniques and technologies that are aimed at improving the diagnostic power of magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. Lattanzi was a recipient of several awards, including a Fulbright scholarship, the ISMRM Rabi Young Investigator Award and an NSF CAREER Award. He was selected as an Aspen Junior Fellow by the Aspen Institute Italia, a Young Leader by the Council for the United States and Italy, and a European Young Leader. Dr. Lattanzi received his laurea degree in electronic engineering from the University of Bologna, his Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, and his Ph.D. in medical and electrical engineering from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
