However, it also poses challenges to tackle to fully exploit its potential. In this talk, I will present theoretical estimations and experimental examples of image quality at 7 Tesla MRI as compared to standard magnetic field strengths (1.5 and 3 Tesla) for functional MRI, arterial spin labeling measuring blood flow, T1- and T2*-anatomical contrasts. It will be shown that 7 Tesla MRI is a game changer for studying the human brain both in healthy subjects and patients. In addition, I will describe the enhanced technological challenges at 7 Tesla, mainly RF-transmit and -receive inhomogeneities, and how to homogenize image contrasts using parallel transmission techniques and RF pulse design. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You are all welcome to join, and feel free to spread the word. Details of the talk are below, I look forward to seeing some of you at Polytechnique on Friday at noon (room L-4812 ): Nikola Chers coll?gues, Il me fait grand plaisir de vous inviter ? une conf?rence du professeur Joseph Dagher de l'Universit? de l'Arizona intitul? ?Un nouveau paradigme pour la quantification de phase de l'IRM?. La conf?rence est pr?vue le 12 Juin (vendredi) ? 12 heures dans la salle L-4812, vous ?tes les bienvenus. Les d?tails sont ci-dessous, Nikola Location: Lassonde room L-4812 http://www.neuro.polymtl.ca/doku.php?id=contact Title: A new paradigm for quantitation from MR Phase Abstract: Measuring the phase of the MR signal is faced with fundamental challenges such as phase aliasing, noise and unknown offsets of the coil array. There is a paucity of acquisition, reconstruction and estimation methods that rigorously address these challenges. This reduces the reliability of information processing in phase domain. We propose a joint acquisition-processing framework that addresses the challenges of MR phase imaging using a rigorous theoretical treatment. Our proposed solution acquires the multi-coil complex data without any increase in acquisition time. Our corresponding estimation algorithm is applied optimally voxel-per-voxel. Results show that our framework achieves performance gains up to an order of magnitude compared to existing methods. We show the impact of this gain on applications such as susceptibility imaging and MR thermometry. Bio: Joseph Dagher received his BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Balamand, Lebanon, his M.S. in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Optical Sciences, both from The University of Arizona. After his PhD, he joined in 2006 a computational imaging company in Boulder CO as a Senior Scientist, where he collaborated with a vibrant team of researchers on solving problems in microscopy, endoscopy, biometrics, planetary imaging and consumer cameras. In 2009, he accepted an NIH T32 training fellowship that would transition his engineering skills to solving problems in medical imaging. He started the fellowship at The University of Colorado, Center for Neuroscience, and completed it at Mass General Hospital, Department of Radiology. Joseph is now a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona, Department of Medical Imaging, where his 2014 NIH career award is supporting his research on imaging the biomarkers of mild Traumatic Brain Injury. -- Nikola Stikov, PhD Assistant Professor Institute of Biomedical Engineering ?cole Polytechnique/Montreal Heart Institute tel: 514 340 5121 (ext. 4549) web: www.neuro.polymtl.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Positron Emission Tomography (??PET?) camera was installed at the Montreal Neurological Institute, thereby taking the activities of our beloved BIC to unprecedented levels (see attached). See also http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/users/chris/First_PET_in_Montreal.pdf for a great historical memo contributed by the BIC's Dr. Chris Thompson about this key moment in neuroimaging ?history?! Today, our Cyclotron Unit produces the longest list of radiotracers used in PET imaging in North America and serves a community of 30+ Principal Investigators and dozens of trainees. The BIC is equipped with 2 human PET cameras (one is high-resolution - only 1 in 12 worldwide), one micro-PET for rodent models, and one SPECT system. The demand in PET scans has actually increased by 60% over the past 12 months, and new equipment was recently purchased by our user community to constantly improve our production capacity and capability (more on that soon). Have a great week everyone! Sylvain. ps/ thank you to Dr. Gassan Massarweh, Head of Cyclotron, for reminding us of this historical milestone.

We are a student-run, peer-reviewed journal that publishes a variety of original research papers by undergraduate students at McGill. Our goal is for students to share their findings through clear, effective writing to further promote undergraduates? involvement in research. We are encouraging summer research students currently participating in a project to submit their work in our upcoming 11th anniversary edition to be released in 2016. They can find more information on our website, http://msurj.mcgill.ca - submissions will be accepted starting August 1st. If you are supervising an undergraduate student, we would greatly appreciate if you could pass on this information. We understand concerns from research groups that publication of data in MSURJ could limit its submission to standard academic journals. MSURJ serves as a voice for undergraduate research within McGill, and not a competitor to other journals. A number of prominent publishing groups have informed us that publication in MSURJ does not prohibit the submission of a paper to their journal. More details can be found on our website. Thank you for your support.
