REMINDER
MGH Imaging Center Seminar:

On:   Monday February 17th   from 12:30 to 1:30pm L7-140

Our Invited speaker is:

Dr. Andre van der Kouwe
Associate Professor of Radiology
Massachusetts General Hospital
Title:

" MRI Motion Correction with External Trackers, High Resolution Ex Vivo Imaging,
and Longitudinal Studies of HIV-Infected Children in South Africa”


Abstract: The cost of motion during clinical MRI brain examinations is estimated at $115,000 per scanner per year. While internal navigators require no additional equipment or setup, external trackers have the advantage that they estimate motion rapidly, asynchronous with the sequence, and they don’t affect sequence timing or physics. These systems therefore have the potential to improve clinical imaging efficiency without changing clinical protocols. I will present results using an external markerless tracking system and a wireless marker-based tracking system. In ex vivo imaging, motion is no longer a problem and scans can be run for hours or days. I will present some ultra-high-resolution images made possible by combining custom RF receive arrays, high field strengths, and long scan times. In the third section, I will present some results of brain imaging studies in HIV-infected, HIV-exposed-uninfected, and control children in Cape Town, South Africa. Some of the motion tracking techniques were developed with Cape Town colleagues to image pediatric populations in the region.
