Development of a novel metabolic imaging technique for brain metabolism using 3T MRI, including new pulse sequences and open-source software dissemination.
Description
This research proposes to develop a new metabolic imaging technique for the human brain called ‘simultaneous upfield and downfield MR spectroscopic imaging’. It aims to provide a comprehensive window into brain metabolism on commonly available 3T MRI systems. The long-term goal is to disseminate this methodology, including processing software, to the clinical neuroscience community for studying neurological and oncological diseases.
