• High Resolution, Multi-Contrast
Modality Brain Imaging at 7T and 9.4T in the Human Brain A main emphasis will be given to image post-processing and analysis, merging information from multiple contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, SWI, DTI,...) in data acquired at high field (7T and 9.4T), first in healthy humans and later in neurological patients. This will include developing tools allowing for the identification of anatomical structures and neurological lesions that are not visible at lower magnetic field. The candidate will be encouraged to also contribute to data acquisition parameter optimization at the scanner. Large arrays of neuroscience research projects are performed at the CMRR, which is the recipient of a NIH Neuroscience Blueprint Interdisciplinary Center Core Grant (see link below1). The center is also well renowned for its pioneering work with Human High Field scanners. The CMRR currently hosts 4 human systems (whole body systems: 3T Siemens, 4T Varian/Magnex and 7T Siemens/Magnex, head system: 9.4T Varian/Magnex) as well as a 9.4T Varian animal system, and is in the process acquiring new equipments that include a 16T animal.
