The interest of Dr. Chung's research is to develop novel magnetic resonance imaging methodologies based on imaging physics and signal processing for scientific and clinical applications. Specific research interests are to develop: 1) novel, ultrafast pulse sequences for highly efficient structural and functional imaging, 2) novel algorithms in image reconstruction, 3) endogenous/exogenous contrast mechanisms, and 4) methods for physiological parameter (CEST, Susceptibility, T1, T2, T2*, and T1rho) estimation.
