Scholar-generated biography
Dimitrios Karampinos is an Associate Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) specializing in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). His research focuses on developing and applying MRI techniques to quantify fat and water in tissues, with applications in osteoporosis, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders. He investigates how fat infiltration in bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and cartilage correlates with disease progression and functional outcomes. His work includes non-invasive biomarkers for knee osteoarthritis, spinal health, and metabolic conditions. Karampinos also explores advanced MRI methods, such as chemical shift-based water-fat separation and deep learning for motion correction, to enhance image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
