Bio
Riccardo Lattanzi is an Associate Professor of Radiology, Electrical and Computer Engineering at the New York University. His research work lies at the boundary between physics, engineering and medicine. He investigates fundamental principles involving the interactions of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields with biological tissue in order to develop new techniques and technologies that are aimed at improving the diagnostic power of MRI. He won the ISMRM I.I. Rabi Young Investigator Award, received an NSF CAREER award, a Fulbright scholarship, was selected as an Aspen Junior Fellow of the Aspen Institute Italia, a Young Leader of the Council for the United States and Italy and was elected to the Sigma-Xi research honor society. Dr. Lattanzi received his laurea degree in electronic engineering from University of Bologna, his Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, and his Ph.D. in medical engineering and medical physics from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.

research interests
My research work has focused primarily on developing new techniques and technologies for high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and, more recently, on developing new methods for early diagnosis of cartilage degeneration in the hip joint. I am an expert in parallel MRI techniques, which employs many-element arrays of RF detectors to accelerate MR image acquisition and multiple radio-frequency (RF) transmit coils both to accelerate MR signal excitation and to compensate for signal inhomogeneities at high field MRI. I have developed the dyadic Green’s function (DGF) methodology for fast electrodynamic simulation of RF coil performance, I have introduced the concept of ultimate intrinsic specific absorption rate (SAR), the theoretical smallest radio-frequency (RF) power deposition for a given magnetic resonance (MR) excitation, and I have shown for the first time ideal current patterns corresponding to optimal performance, which can be used as a guide for optimizing the design of many-element RF coil arrays. I have also developed a method to assess the quality of receive coils against ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the theoretical largest SNR for a given imaging task. Since 2010, my work has expanded into a highly translational research area, which is the application of MR-based biochemical imaging techniques for the evaluation of the hip joint in patients with femora acetabular impingement (FAI), a medical condition for which early detection can help delaying or preventing the onset of osteoarthritis. In the future, I plan to combine my two main research interests and develop innovative RF coils to improve the diagnostic power of high-field MRI in musculoskeletal applications.

Current Classes
Instructor for EL6813/BE6203 (Medical Imaging), course director: Yao Wang (Fall 2016)
BMSC-GA 4427 – Practical Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1(*not offered in 2017*)
This course is a practical introduction to the basic components of signal excitation and detection in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The course is divided in three modules. The first part focuses on the fundamental mathematical tools needed to describe an MRI experiment and how they can be implemented in the Matlab software environment. The second part introduces students to the basics of pulse sequence design, providing examples and direct programming experience. In the third part, students will learn the principles of radiofrequency (RF) coil design and they will build a receive coil. The class involves significant laboratory work. Prerequisites are basic knowledge of C++, BMSC-GA 4404 or permission of the course director for students not enrolled in the Sackler training program in biomedical imaging.
