Research Overview
Dr. Ou is the Magnetic Resonance Physicist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. He received his doctoral degree from Vanderbilt University with a concentration in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He continued his research in Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS) as a research fellow before he joined ACH in 2008. Dr. Ou’s past research includes development of new quantitative MRI methods for small animal imaging. His current research interests include the development and application of pediatric neuroimaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetization transfer imaging (MTI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
