NOUVELLE série de conférences!
Présentée par la Plateforme de recherche IRM de l'HGM

La Plateforme de recherche IRM de l'HGM souhaite vous inviter à la toute première présentation de sa série de conférences!

Nous avons organisé des présentations portant sur différents sujets reliés à l'imagerie par résonance magnétique. Chaque premier lundi du mois nous vous invitons à venir écouter une présentation sur l'heure du diner.

Invitation à la conférence: The Fundamentals of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging

La première conférence portera sur les fondements de l'IRM de diffusion. ***La conférence sera en anglais***

Quand: Lundi le 7 novembre 2022
Heure: 12:00-13:00
Où: En personne au MGH L7.140 (salle de conférences du BRaIN Program)

[https://mcusercontent.com/0e2a5d604f9b8db6a936e84a8/images/828cfc7e-b942-7059-42c6-5b19afc755ce.png]

Notre première conférencière sera Jennifer Campbell, PhD.

Jennifer Campbell est associée de recherche au Centre d'imagerie cérébrale McConnell de l'Institut Neurologique de Montréal, où elle travaille pour son ancien directeur, le Dr Bruce Pike, qui est maintenant basé à l'Université de Calgary. Elle a obtenu un baccalauréat spécialisé en mathématiques et physique à l'Université Queen's avant de venir à l'Université McGill pour compléter une maîtrise en physique médicale et un doctorat en génie biomédical.

Ses recherches ont porté sur l'acquisition d'IRM de diffusion, la tractographie et la combinaison de l'IRM de diffusion avec d'autres contrastes d'IRM pour améliorer la spécificité des détails de la microstructure neuronale tels que les fractions volumiques intercompartimentales et l'épaisseur relative de la myéline.

Résumé de la conférence:
Cette présentation commencera par une description de ce qu'est la diffusion et comment elle peut être exploitée comme contraste IRM pour obtenir des informations sur la structure des tissus. Les diverses applications de ce mécanisme de contraste seront brièvement passées en revue, y compris les applications cliniques et l'étude de la maladie et des tissus sains. La présentation se concentrera ensuite sur la façon dont le contraste de diffusion est généré avec l'IRM et les techniques et défis spécifiques à l'IRM.

Puisqu'il s'agit de la première conférence et que les places sont limitées dans la salle, nous vous demandons de RSVP afin d'assister à la conférence.

NEW Speaker Series!
Presented by the MGH MRI Research Platform

The MGH MRI Research Platform is inviting you to the very first talk of its Speaker Series!

We have organized presentations on various topics related to magnetic resonance imaging. Every first Monday of the month, we invite you to come and listen to a lunchtime presentation.

Invitation to The Fundamentals of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging Talk

The first talk will be on The Fundamentals of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging

When: Monday November 7, 2022
Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm
Where: In person, in MGH L7.140 (BRaIN Program conference room)

[https://mcusercontent.com/0e2a5d604f9b8db6a936e84a8/images/828cfc7e-b942-7059-42c6-5b19afc755ce.png]

Our first speaker is Jennifer Campbell, PhD.

Jennifer Campbell is a research associate at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre of the Montreal Neurological Institute, where she works for its former director, Dr. Bruce Pike, who is now based at the University of Calgary. She received an honours bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics at Queen's University before coming to McGill University to complete a master's degree in medical physics and a PhD in biomedical engineering.

Her research has covered diffusion MRI acquisition, tractography, and combining diffusion MRI with other MRI contrasts to improve specificity to neuronal microstructural detail such as intercompartmental volume fractions and relative myelin thickness.

Abstract:
This talk will begin with a description of what diffusion is and how it can be harnessed as an MRI contrast to obtain information about tissue structure. The diverse applications of this contrast mechanism will be briefly reviewed, including clinical applications and the study of disease and healthy tissue. The talk will then focus on how diffusion contrast is generated with MRI and specific MRI techniques and challenges.

Since this is the first talk and with the limited capacity of the room, we are asking you to RSVP to attend the conference.
