MRI Pulse Sequences

Dr. Serai is an MRI Scientist and Magnetic Resonance Safety Expert, and an Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from the University of Mumbai, India, and his Masters of Science and Ph.D. Degrees from the University of Illinois, Chicago. Dr. Serai is an active member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance (ISMRM), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), American College of Radiology (ACR), Quantitative Imaging Bio-Markers Alliance (QIBA), and Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR). Dr. Serai has widely published and additionally serves as an Ad Hoc Peer Reviewer for Pediatric Radiology, Radiology, American Journal of Roentgenology, Academic Radiology, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Abdominal Imaging, and Journal of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. Dr. Serai's background allows him to work closely with radiologists to develop protocol, measure quantitative MRI values using mono and bi-exponential decays, and generate visual maps to demonstrate changes in regional pathophysiology, which ultimately translate to clinical application and outcome improvement. Over the last 20 years, Dr. Serai has developed and applied MR imaging-based methods for Neuro, iron and fat quantification in the body, elastography, and T1/T2 mapping techniques to suit pediatric needs.
