NIH grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging for research on advanced diffusion MRI techniques to detect early Alzheimer's disease.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on high-resolution diffusion MRI technology tailored to the medial temporal lobe to improve early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The project involves development of vendor-agnostic, distortion-free EPI acquisition, motion-corrected volumetric encoding, and scanning of subjects with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and controls. The goal is to identify microstructural and connectivity biomarkers for early diagnosis and intervention.
