The Advanced MRI Development physics team at the FNI Austin precinct has established an international reputation for innovative methodological development in a number of areas of magnetic resonance physics and of MR signal processing. One of the principal interests of this team is translational research, with the aim of applying new methods to important clinical and neuroscientific problems, in particular in the field of epilepsy (see Major Program in Epilepsy Imaging section). Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the field of diffusion MRI and perfusion MRI, and many ongoing projects are developing these strengths further.
