Research Associate
Arcan received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and joined the CMRR as a Postdoctoral Researcher. He designed, development and evaluated radiofrequency (RF) coils, parallel transmit arrays and RF hardware to improve MRI of the body at ultra-high field (7.0 and 10.5 Tesla). Most notably, he developed a novel 16-channel body imaging antenna array at 7.0 Tesla. The 7.0 T body array improved the imaging performance by more than 25% and reduced subject preparation time inside the high-field MRI scanner by more than 10 minutes. The body imaging array is used in translational prostate cancer, renal, cardiac and musculoskeletal hip imaging studies at CMRR, and appeared in MRM journal highlights in February 2017.
