aMRIt Lab is dedicated to advancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies to address clinical and medical challenges. The lab focuses on fundamental and applied problems in MR engineering, spanning both hardware and software aspects of MRI system development. On the hardware side, research activities include the design and development of low-field and ultra-low-field MRI systems, with an emphasis on compact, portable, and resource-efficient architectures. On the software side, the lab works on pulse sequence design, image reconstruction algorithms,Artifical Intelligence and signal processing methods tailored to the constraints and opportunities of low-field MRI.
A defining objective of the AMRIT Lab is the development of novel MRI methods and devices with clear pathways toward clinical translation. Rather than pursuing isolated technical advances, the lab emphasizes end-to-end system thinking, where hardware design, sequence development, and reconstruction strategies are co-optimized for specific clinical and medical applications. To support this translational focus, the lab maintains close collaborations with clinicians across a range of medical specialties and engages actively with partners in the MRI industry, ensuring that research outcomes remain aligned with practical clinical needs and deployment constraints.
Current research projects in the lab include the development of new pulse sequences for targeted clinical and medical applications, particularly those that benefit from low-field operation, as well as the design and prototyping of portable, ultra-low-field MRI scanners intended for bedside and point-of-care use. These efforts aim to expand access to MRI in settings where conventional high-field systems are impractical due to cost, infrastructure, or logistical limitations.
The AMRIT Lab provides an interdisciplinary research environment in which students and postdoctoral researchers gain hands-on experience with MRI hardware development, pulse programming, reconstruction pipelines, and system-level integration. Emphasis is placed on building strong fundamentals in MR physics and engineering while working on problems with direct clinical relevance.
