Recent News

Dan Ma, Magnify SOM
BIAC faculty, Dr. Dan Ma, was recently highlighted in The Duke Daily for transforming medical imaging with "MR fingerprinting". By varying magnetic signals, this technique captures the body's inner landscape in a single scan to create unique "fingerprints" of tissues.  This exciting technique not only captures what traditional MRI may miss, but can speed up imaging and improve patient experience at the MR scanners.
