%X We propose to prototype the first CT-MRI scanner for radiation therapy and basic research, demonstrate its transformative biomedical potential, and initiate a paradigm shift in multimodality imaging. Our design consists of a double donut-shaped pair of permanent magnets to form a regionally uniform ~0.5T magnetic field and leave room for a stationary 9-source interior CT gantry at 3 tube voltages (triple-energy CT). Image reconstruction will be in a compressive sensing framework. Please discuss with Dr. Ge Wang (ge-wang@ieee.org) if you are interested in collaborative opportunities.
