Dear all,

Our next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar is this coming wednesday 

Wednesday - April 4th,  at 13h

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775 University Street).

Speaker: Dr. J. Cohen Adad Ph.D.

Dr. Cohen Adad  just finished his postdoctoral fellowship at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging (Boston USA) with Dr. L. Wald, and has been recruited Assistant Professor in the department of Biomedical Engineering of Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal.

Title: 7T MRI of the healthy and pathological cerebral cortex

Abstract:
Ultra-high field MRI (≥7T) has recently shown great sensitivity to depict patterns of tissue microarchitecture. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated a dependency between T2* and orientation of white matter fibers with respect to the main magnetic field B0. During the first part of the talk, we will see how T2* cortical mapping can reveal  patterns of cytoarchitectural organization of the in vivo human cortex and how B0 orientation dependence can probe the coherency and orientation of gray matter fibers in the cortex. During the second part of the talk, we will make use of T2* mapping to study cortical demyelination in multiple sclerosis population. The talk will cover most aspects of data acquisition and processing.
