Past and Current TBI Doctoral Students:
The purpose of the proposed training program is to train Biomedical Engineering graduate students with engineering background for in-depth understanding of MR physics, exposure to a wide range of MR applications, and advanced MR research experience to prepare them for a medical imaging career in academia, hospital, or industry. In addition, trainees will obtain general knowledge of other imaging modalities such as x-ray, ultrasound, CT, PET, nuclear medicine, and optical imaging through course work, lab rotations, and clinical rotations. The training program will serve as a link for closer ties between various MR research groups throughout the campuses.
