Dr. Steven H. Baete is an Associate Professor at the Department of Radiology specializing in Biomedical Imaging. With over 16 years of research experience in diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) physics and diffusion microstructural modeling, he focuses on enhancing the visualization of the complexities of the human brain, particularly concerning cranial nerves. His work aims to improve clinical applications for neurosurgical planning and assist in the understanding and diagnosis of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. His research includes developing techniques for diffusion MRI sequence development and post-processing interpretation to uncover microstructural information about the central nervous system's structure and pathology. A key aspect of his recent studies involves improving nerve fiber tract visualization to advance neurosurgical practice, addressing the limitations of existing fiber tractography methods. By utilizing tissue microstructure data obtained from diffusion MRI, his ODF-Fingerprinting technique enhances the fidelity of visualized fibers to biological reality, and he is currently exploring the evaluation of optic nerve inflammation and deterioration in conditions such as glaucoma.
