New podcast released
We have released a new podcast of a lecture Thorarin Bjarnason gave at Oxford. His talk, titled Quantitative T2 (qT2): more than just a shade of grey, is about using T2 relaxation in MRI to determine subvoxel information. Typically, T2 relaxation is only used as a contrast mechanism. In this lecture Bjarnason introduces the concept of qT2, highlights some interesting literature, and discusses his PhD research on this topic.
