Baptiste Morel

MD, PhD

Investigator and Pediatric Radiology Staff, BC Children's Hospital

My research focuses on improving medical imaging for children so that doctors and parents can better understand what is happening inside the body in a safe and non-invasive way. I use advanced imaging techniques, especially MRI, to study how children's brains develop and how diseases can be detected as early as possible. I also develop computer-based tools that help doctors analyze images more accurately and identify subtle abnormalities.

Another important part of my work is making imaging safer for children. I work on reducing radiation exposure and improving imaging techniques so that exams are quicker, more comfortable, and provide clearer answers for families and clinicians.

I am also involved in research on child abuse, where medical imaging can play a key role in detecting injuries that may not be visible externally. By improving how these injuries are identified and understood, my goal is to help protect children, support accurate diagnosis, and contribute to better care and safeguarding.

Quantitative Pediatric Brain MRI with MP2RAGE: Understanding Brain Development and Disease

This project combines MRI acquisition and automated image analysis to better understand how the brain develops in children, from birth through adolescence. Using a MR sequence called MP2RAGE, we obtain high-quality brain images that allow precise measurement of tissue properties, including T1 relaxometry. We then apply automated segmentation tools to divide the brain into its different structures and extract quantitative data such as volumes and relaxation times.

A central objective of this work is to study how T1 values change in the developing brain, both in healthy children and in those with neurological conditions. By building robust reference datasets, we can compare an individual child's MRI to expected developmental patterns and identify subtle abnormalities that may not be visible on standard imaging. This approach improves our understanding of normal brain maturation while providing new insights into how diseases affect brain structure and function.

This research is particularly important for children, whose brains are highly dynamic and vulnerable. By linking imaging findings with clinical outcomes, we aim to better predict neurodevelopment and support earlier, more personalized care. Ultimately, this project seeks to transform pediatric brain MRI from a purely visual tool into a quantitative and objective method that enhances diagnosis, monitoring, and clinical decision-making.
