Rakshit Dadarwal

Neuroimaging Researcher

About

My name is Rakshit Dadarwal, and my research focuses on the acquisition and processing of multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. I am particularly interested in imaging myelin and iron in the central nervous system using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), magnetisation transfer imaging and T1 and T2 relaxometry.

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI
In DCE MRI, a low-molecular-weight contrast agent is used to detect the leakage and accumulation of contrast agents in the extracellular extravascular space. The quantitative analysis of DCE MRI data allows quantifying perfusion and permeability parameters such as volume transfer constant between blood plasma and EES and vice versa, EES and plasma space volumes, and blood flow.

Multiple MRI Contrasts Matters
Multiple MRI contrasts offer complementary information and are sensitive to varying properties of the biological tissues. The availability of various MRI contrasts allows us to better visualize cortical, subcortical, and white matter structures and facilitates fine anatomical tissue segmentation.
