[BIC-announce] Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday March 13th - 1 pm - ATTENTION ROOM CHANGED Room 321

[Christophe Grova]

Dear all,

Our next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar  is today

ATTENTION: Exceptionnally the room has changed, today's seminar will be in room 321 instead of  room 333

Wednesday - March 13th,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  321 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775  University Street).

Speaker: Ye Gu, Master student under the supervision of Dr B Pike PhD, BME, McGill University

Since Ye is a Master student registered to the course BMDE500 who is giving this seminar as part of McGill conditions to obtain his M.Sc., special attendance from our department (staff and students) is really expected, in order to give Ye feedback on his research studies.

Title : Quantitative Magnetization Transfer in MRI - Methods, Processing and Validation

Abstract:
Quantitative Magnetization Transfer (qMT) techniques in MRI can sensitize measurements to properties of macromolecules such as Myelin, thereby become a potential diagnosis tool for disease like Multiple Sclerosis. Recent publication suggested a new on-resonance, balanced Steady-State Free Precession (bSSFP) method for fast imaging with good SNR (Gloor et al, 2008). The project aims to validate and optimize this new methods against the gold standard qMTSPGR method available at McGill. Meanwhile a complete simulation and data processing tool kit is developed.
