Riccardo Lattanzi is a Professor in the Department of Radiology. His research intersects the fields of physics, engineering, and medicine, focusing on the fundamental principles involving the interactions of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields with biological tissue. Lattanzi aims to develop new techniques and technologies that enhance the diagnostic capabilities of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). His research group investigates the performance limits of MRI, particularly the intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and seeks to achieve optimal performance in MRI technology applications. His work also emphasizes quantitative magnetic resonance-based biochemical imaging, specifically in the assessment of articular cartilage for improved accuracy. Recently, Lattanzi has concentrated on developing noninvasive methods for mapping electrical properties using MRI measurements, which aim to aid in the early detection of cartilage damage and the prevention of conditions such as hip osteoarthritis.
