Student Projects

Such static magnetic field perturbation is interesting because it can be measured very sensitively during MRI scans and could potentially serve to detect and correct for head motion. To this end, the first goal of the project is to study susceptibility-driven field, how it changes when the head moves, and how it varies across different individual heads. Using a database of segmented head models (SHARM), the project will employ forward simulation from susceptibility to magnetic field distribution. Experiments will/can be performed on a 3T MRI system. Data will be evaluated for the potential to machine-learn its structure across individuals and lay groundwork for motion detection.

If interested please write me an email and we can discuss in-person. I am also open for further suggestions and ideas. Tim Schmidt (SNS-Lab and D-ITET): tim.schmidt@econ.uzh.ch or tischmidt@student.ethz.ch
