Preclinical and multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the anatomical, functional and molecular assessment of cardiac remodeling KU Leuven
The PhD project will focus on the development and testing of new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) methods in rodents. We propose a complex MRI protocol enabling the full characterization of the heart function under physiological and patho-physiological conditions in rodents. Cardiac MRI has the versatility to quantify the global cardiac function (EDV, ESV, EF, cardiac output, myocardial thickening), local function such as ...
