Ben Jeurissen

Research Expertise (University of Antwerp):My work is focused on extracting robust and clinically relevant information from quantitative MRI data acquired within realistic scan times. The novel acquisition and analysis techniques that I develop are applicable across a wide range of clinical and neuroscientific problems where white matter and its connectivity are of interest, including Alzheimer's disease, brain development and neurosurgical planning.
