Louise was at the Neuro for over 30 years, and participated in a great many technological advances. If anyone has recollections about Louise, especially from the 80s and 90s, I would invite you to share these either directly with me or to the group.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of LOUISE MARCOTTE on July 24 after a brief, courageous battle with cancer. Louise leaves a legacy

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">After working in Switzerland during the early 1980s, Louise joined The Neuro to operate Neuroradiology’s Body Scan system. She subsequently helped to
introduce many technological advances, operating a succession of increasingly powerful MRI scanners. In the 1990s, Louise scanned patients and research volunteers using a variety of imaging modalities, and it was she who acquired the first human images on
our whole-body 7-tesla MRI scanner installed in 2019.</span><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">During her long tenure here, Louise touched many colleagues, patients, and trainees with her kindness and professionalism. Outside of work, Louise loved
the outdoors and led an active life that included skiing, snowshoeing, tennis, and walking. Those who worked closely with Louise will remember her passion for cooking and the wonderful baked goods she shared so generously with all.</span><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
