Hello, I am Nicholas Senn, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Aberdeen working on Work Package 3 of the V|LF-Spiro3D project.
In April 2024 I joined the AMT Center to work on developing 3D MR spirometry at field strengths of 0.1 T and below. So far, I have used a low-field extremity MRI system to implement and examine the feasibility of 3D radial imaging (Kooshball MRI) at 0.1 T.
Pictured are first images of test phantom objects. My next steps are to translate Kooshball MRI to our low-field whole-body imaging system and work towards in vivo imaging of the lung.
In addition to my work on V|LF-Spiro3D project, my research interests include investigating the potential of field-cycling MRI to detect brain changes arising from cerebral small vessel disease and exploring how ex vivo tissue samples can be used to develop new ways of analysing field-cycling imaging data.
As an early career researcher, I am very excited for the opportunity to work with, and learn from, the many researchers working across V|LF-Spiro3D!
