Sean Smart
Senior Research Associate
I am a preclinical imaging scientist specialised in the development of technologies for improving image quality. Key developments include real-time, dynamic reacquistion of motion corrupted data, cardiac synchronisation during short and constant TR steady-state maintained scanning, respiration-gated B0 stabilisation for high resolution imaging, and the development of a suite of techniques that enable MRI-guided radiotherapy abdomincal tumour to be operated at high throughput.
