Improved DW-MRI analysis methods for detecting motor functions

Summary:Diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is an important imaging tool in mapping associated white matter pathways in the brain. WSU has developed a new software program that analyzes DW-MRI images using improved models (ICA+BSM) and algorithmic methods (DWI tractography & Kalman filter analysis). The WSU software can automatically identify primary...

Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy for Molecular Imaging

Detailed Description Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM) is an emerging technology that combines the strengths of magnetic resonance and force microscopy to achieve high resolution three-dimensional sub-surface imaging of a test substance. WSU researchers have adapted and refined MRFM to study biological systems such as isolated cells sub-cellular...

Next Generation MRI Contrast Imaging Agent

WSU has developed a new class of contrast agents that are effective at ultra-high field strengths (>3 tesla) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) where current clinical agents severely decline in effectiveness. Our new agents are based on the metal Eu(II) which is novel compared to current agents that are based on Gd(III). The difference between the...
