DESCRIPTION:Christopher Roy\, Maître assistant (SNSF Ambizione)\,  Depar
 tment of Radiology – Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV)\, University of
  Lausanne (UNIL).\n\nChristopher Roy graduated with an honors in physics B
 Sc degree from Mount Allison University\, in Canada\, in 2010. He complete
 d his MSc in 2012 and PhD in 2017\, both in Medical Biophysics at the Univ
 ersity of Toronto. Working with Drs. Christopher Macgowan and Mike Seed at
  the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto\, Chris’ graduate research fo
 cused on accelerated imaging and motion correction strategies for MRI of t
 he fetal heart. This work led to the first retrospectively gated fetal CIN
 E bSSFP images and first application of compressed sensing to dynamic feta
 l imaging. Chris has a strong interest in using post-processing methods to
  address practical challenges in clinical applications. Chris is currentl
 y a lecturer (maître-assistant) at the Department of Radiology\, Laus
 anne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) and i
 s leading a Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione funded project 
 developing multi-dimensional imaging techniques targeting the fetal and pe
 diatric heart\, hosted in CIBM MRI CHUV -UNIL Translational MR Imaging Sec
 tion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance I
 maging has played an increasingly important role in assessing the heart in
  fetal and pediatric patients\, providing  a comprehensive 3D assessment 
 of anatomy\, function\, and blood flow. In general\, MRI requires careful 
 compensation of both cardiac and respiratory motion in order to ensure hig
 h quality images that are not degraded by artifact. However\, in fetal and
  pediatric imaging the likelihood of bulk patient movement provides an add
 itional confounding factor that may either preclude scanning altogether or
  require sedation. In this talk\, Chris Roy will provide an overview of te
 chniques developed for high resolution dynamic cardiac imaging in the pres
 ence of patient movement. With these methods his team aim to improve the e
 ase-of-use of Cardiovascular MRI and work towards decreasing the need for 
 sedation in pediatric patients while also exploring new avenues for imagin
 g the fetus.\nThe CIBM Breakfast and Science Seminars aim to unite the sci
 entific community on a regular basis (every last Tuesday of the month) so 
 as to exchange knowledge\, to foster research collaborations and to create
  a vibrant research center of excellence in biomedical imaging.\nIn genera
 l a seminar may be composed of one 40 minute or two 20  minute presentati
 on on a specific research area in biomedical imaging  followed by a 5-10-
 minute Q&A discussion. \nThe event is concluded with a interactive sharin
 g session where audience members have an opportunity to share with each ot
 her their news\, updates or simply network with members of the CIBM commun
 ity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
