معرفی
Dr. Jiani Hu serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, where she conducts research at the MR Research Facility. Her work focuses on applying advanced MRI and MRS techniques to diagnose, prognose, and monitor lesions in neurological disorders and cancers using both human and small animal models.
Her primary research areas include cardiac MRI radiomics for myocardial infarction risk stratification, glymphatic system investigations in aging and diabetes, and neuroimaging of cerebral waste clearance. She actively collaborates with Dr. Mark Haacke to develop non-invasive imaging biomarkers for clinical applications in cardiology and neurology.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant trends in cardiac tissue characterization using extracellular volume radiomics and glymphatic dysfunction studies linking vascular physiology to neurodegenerative disorders. Her surgical outcome meta-analyses on bariatric and gastric procedures demonstrate methodological versatility across clinical domains.
As a key contributor to the MR Research Facility, Dr. Hu advances quantitative MRI methodologies with direct clinical translation potential. Her interdisciplinary work bridges engineering, data science, and medicine to address unmet needs in cardiovascular and neurological disease management.
