Research Focus
Dr. Yi Wang's lab focuses on developing innovative MRI techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease. They use fluid mechanics principles to enhance tissue perfusion imaging and create new methods for mapping oxygen metabolism in the brain. By refining these MRI-based tools, the lab aims to provide more accurate and reliable assessments of brain health, ultimately aiding in patient management and clinical decision-making.
