Dr. Ahmad A. Alhulail is currently an Assistant Professor in the Radiology and Medical Imaging Department at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Dr. Alhulail received his PhD degree in Medical Physics at Purdue University, USA, in 2019. He is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) researcher. His research topics focus on the in vivo quantitative MRI/MRSI techniques, especially for fat and sodium. The advanced accelerated MRSI methods he proposed in his studies demonstrated a superior quantification accuracy compared to the conventional MRI methods. Additionally, his studies showed the feasibility of getting simultaneous separate maps for extramyocellular and Intramyocellular fatty acids, which can facilitate diagnosing metabolic health disorders, such as diabetes and cancers. He recently proposed a novel accelerated method to map absolute sodium concentration and T2* relaxation with high spatial resolution, which also can have many useful clinical applications.
