Alexei Ouriadov is an Assistant Professor at Western University specializing in hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). His research focuses on developing advanced MRI methodologies and hardware to visualize ventilated lung regions and obtain detailed information related to gas exchange in lung tissue. With over 20 years of experience in the field, Ouriadov has significantly contributed to addressing fundamental limitations of HP 129Xe MRI, particularly in signal-to-noise ratios. His current research includes enhancing image acquisition and reconstruction techniques, and creating novel radiofrequency coils to improve imaging techniques and validate these methods against traditional positron emission tomography (PET). He has published several papers, including work on diffusion-weighted techniques for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the application of stretched-exponential models for analyzing lung morphology using HP 129Xe MRI. Furthermore, Ouriadov teaches various undergraduate and graduate courses in physics, where he shares his expertise in statistical physics and nuclear magnetic resonance with students.
