Research

High-Resolution Diffusion-Weighted Imaging with Radial Fast Spin-Echo
Novel acquisition and reconstruction techniques are being developed to improve the spatial resolution available in DWMRI.

MRI of Neimann-Pick Disease
This project is aimed at developing an MRI method to detect neuronal changes associate with NPC disease.

Modeling Diffusion in Bioreactor Cell Cultures
This project is using bioreactor cell culture technology to understand the diffusion of water in tissue and why it changes under ischemic or therapuetic conditions

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient as a Predictor of Therapy Response in Breast Cancer Metastases
This project uses the apparent diffusion of water to asses the response of cancer therapy.

Function MRI
With collaborators in the Cognition and Neuroimaging Laboratories (CNL) at the University of Arizona, MRI is being used to map brain activity in response to stimulus or as a result of activity.
