Award for the Neuroimaging Core project at Johns Hopkins University to manage and enhance MRI and PET scan data for Alzheimer's research, funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Description
The Neuroimaging Core oversees the acquisition, storage, processing, and distribution of MRI and PET scans from study participants. The repository includes longitudinal MRI scans since 1995, amyloid PET scans since 2015, and tau PET scans since 2021. The project aims to maintain and upgrade imaging methods to maximize longitudinal data analysis, including adding new sequences and applying advanced analysis techniques to quantify brain volume, microstructure, and vascular status. Goals include ongoing data acquisition, processing with state-of-the-art pipelines, analysis integration, and data sharing.
