The LPI is recruiting a PhD student to carry out his/her research in the diffusion MRI field. Questions should be directed to Professor Santiago Aja-Fernandez at sanaja@tel.uva.es.

The position has been granted by the Spain Science Ministry and it is linked to the research grant entitled "Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for precision medicine: from analysis to prediction. Application to migraine ". The PhD must be carried out in the University of Valladolid. The position is subject to an official application to the Ministry.

[Details (in Spanish)] [Overview (in Spanish)]

We propose the so-called "Apparent Measures Using Reduced Acquisitions" (AMURA) to drastically reduce the number of samples needed for the estimation of q-space measures such as RTOP, RTAP and RTPP. AMURA avoids the calculation of the whole EAP by assuming the diffusion anisotropy is roughly independent from the radial direction.

Last 13th September 2019 Iñali Rabanillo defended his PhD Thesis entitled "Artifact reduction in Magnetic Resonance Imaging: noise modelling in 2D/3D GRAPPA
accelerated acquisitions and motion-induced ghosting correction in multishot diffusion MRI", getting a qualification of "Sobresaliente" and being proposed for "cum laude" distinction.

El TFG realizado por Patricia Amado Caballero "Ayuda al diagnóstico del TDAH en la infancia mediante técnicas de procesado de señal y aprendizaje" ha dado lugar a un sistema que alcanza un 98% de acierto en el diagnóstico del TDAH. El TFG aplica técnicas de aprendizaje profundo (deep learning) para analizar firmas espectrales en patrones de movimiento. Para adquirir estos patrones se han utilizado pulseras de actividad que no interfieren para nada en la vida diaria del niño.
