Clare Poynton

Dr. Clare Poynton’s research is in medical image reconstruction and analysis problems such as quantitative susceptibility mapping and phase-based analysis, segmentation, registration, and modeling and correction of artifacts in structural, functional, and diffusion MRI. Her thesis research focused on quantifying magnetic susceptibility and iron concentration in the brain from MR phase data. Non-invasive iron quantification is critical for advancing the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s where iron deposits are implicated in disease progression. Previously, she worked on atlas-based retrospective unwarping and registration of functional and diffusion MRI data for neurosurgical planning.
