Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yuran Zhu"
Yuran Zhu's recent research primarily focuses on advancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, particularly through the development of 3D MR fingerprinting for both mouse and macaque brains, aimed at improving the speed and accuracy of contrast agent tracking during imaging.
A significant finding includes the successful implementation of a deep learning-assisted framework that allows for sub-millimeter T1 and T2 mapping in the entire macaque brain, addressing challenges related to acquisition time and image resolution in preclinical studies.
Additionally, Zhu's work also explores the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid tracers and the glymphatic system, utilizing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to analyze transport kinetics and guide understanding of waste removal in the brain.
