  1. 3982. (I) Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI: Current Status and Future Directions

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Hyperpolarized (HP) gas MRI was previously developed to provide a way to study whole lung ventilation, alveolar morphometry and gas-exchange, with the first demonstration of 129Xe MRI lung imaging nearly 30 years ago. In the ensuing decades, HP gas MRI research has demonstrated that inhaled HP gas lung MRI provides unique measurements for a number of pulmonary diseases including chronic...

  2. 3592. (U*) Measuring Axon Diameters within the Mouse Corpus Callosum using Oscillating Gradient Spin Echo MRI Sequences

    The brain is made of billions of cells called neurons, which are responsible for conducting electrical signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. The axon is the thread-like projection of the neuronal cell body and is usually insulated by the myelin sheath. The two hemispheres of the brain are connected by a white matter tract called the corpus callosum and the...

  3. 3594. (U*) Axon Diameter Inferences in Substructures of the Mouse Corpus Callosum
    Madison Chisholm (Neuroscience, The University of Winnipeg)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Oral Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    Approximately 1 in 6 people globally are affected by a Neurological disorder. Previous research has linked numerous Neurological disorders post-mortem to abnormalities in axon distribution and integrity within neural white matter tracts. Therefore, it is of high interest to investigate methods that will eventually be able to measure axon diameters in white matters tracts in live brains. This...

  4. 3787. (G*) NIBLES: A Numeric Bloch Solver with Dynamic Relaxation Calculations for MRI System Design
    Mr John Adams (Western University)
    19/06/2023, 17:00
    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging technique for diagnosing disease. One major drawback of currently available MR systems is the cost of the high-field (>1T), general use magnets that are the current clinical standard. Thus, interest has grown in developing smaller, low-field, and diagnosis specific MR systems. These systems can reduce costs, and increase the accessibility...
