CardioPulmonary Imaging (CPI) Lab

CPI Lab

The CPI lab aims to develop and translate novel MRI techniques for cardiopulmonary MRI for patients with congenital and acquired heart diseases. The research involves different aspects of MRI, including image acquisition and reconstruction, post-processing, quantitative image analysis, pre-clinical investigation, and clinical translation and evaluation.

Meet the Principal Investigator

Dr. Qing Zou is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He also holds secondary appointments in the Department of Radiology, and Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC). He obtained his Ph.D. in the Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences (AMCS) program in the Graduate College of the University of Iowa.

Dr. Zou's research interests include:

  1. Unsupervised learning for cardiac MRI processing: Using deep generative models for solving inverse problems arising in MRI processing, especially cardiac MRI processing.
  2. Pulse sequences development for cardiopulmonary MRI: Development of sequences for cardiopulmonary MRI.
  3. Translational cardiology research using advanced Cardiac imaging: Development of new imaging biomarkers for congenital and acquired heart diseases.
