High Resolution Spiral GRE for fMRI
2/17/10: Figure shows a 3-shot spiral GRE acquisition with TE 25 ms and a 70 ms readout to achieve 1 mm in-plane resolution on TIM Trio. Reconstruction with SENSE factor of 1 and field inhomogeneity correction.
Collabortion with Ian Atkinson, University of Illinois Chicago
Tract based comparison of FA in young versus old subjects
10/8/09: Figure shows underlying FA image and skeletonized fiber tracks from tbss in FSL with green showing tracks with no differences, red showing tracks that have higher FA in young subjects, and blue showing regions that are higher in older subjects.
High Resolution Brainstem
0.65x0.65x5 mm^3 diffusion tensor image of brainstem. Color-coded FA map. Red indicates Right/Left, Blue indicates Superior/Inferior, Green indicates Anterior/Posterior directed nerve fiber bundles.
Magnet Installations at Beckman

Modified FENSI blood flow
5/18/09: Blood flow image from only 8 averages
Mouse Imaging
1/13/09: In collaboration with Justin Rhodes, Art Kramer, and Boris Odintsov. Developing mouse models for neuroimaging.
Custom Developed Coil
1/12/09: In collaboration with Boris Odintsov and Harish Sharma, we were able to get the Allegra to interface with custom-built coils.
