Collaborating institution: Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Boğaziçi University (Turkey) About the projectA vast amount of radiological data is currently considered suboptimal, and is archived without further use due to their poor spatial resolution and sometimes low quality. Subtle indications of early disease stages are also missed for the same reason. The spatial resolution choice is about finding a good balance between image quality, voxel size and acquisition time. This project aims to deliver computational methods and software tools to increase the resolution of different modalities of magnetic resonance images (MRI) to ensure better brain research, diagnosis and timely treatment strategies.Initially funded by the Royal Society Newton Mobility Grant in 2016, this collaboration is ongoing due to synergies in research interests, Scientific collaboratorsInstitute of Biomedical Engineering, Boğaziçi University (Turkey)The University of Edinburgh (UK)Professor Esin Ozturk IsikAssociate ProfessorContact email address: Esin.Ozturk@boun.edu.trAsim SamliResearcherContact email address: samliasi@boun.edu.trSevim CengizResearch Assistant, PhD CandidateContact email address: sevim_cengiz@icloud.comDr Maria Valdes-HernandezRow Fogo Lecturer in Medical Image Analysis Affiliated departments:Row Fogo Centre for Research into Ageing and the BrainEdinburgh ImagingCentre for Clinical Brain SciencesContact email address: M.Valdes-Hernan@ed.ac.uk PublicationsOzturk-Isik E, Marshall I, Filipiak P, Benjamin AJ, Ones VG, Ramón RO, Valdés Hernández MD.
