Overview
This course will discuss the benefits and challenges of acquiring diffusion MRI data at ultra-high field.

Target Audience
Imaging scientists with an interest in acquiring diffusion MRI data at ultra-high field.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
-Discuss the types of diffusion MRI acquisitions that work well at ultra-high field;
-Analyze diffusion MR image quality at ultra-high field; and 
-Speculate on the types of brain structures that can be visualized on an ultra-high field diffusion MRI. 
 

 

 
07:00
 		   Human Diffusion Imaging at UHF
Daniel Gallichan
This talk describes the challenges associated with human diffusion imaging at UHF, and the developments from the literature which have attempted to address these difficulties to produce high-quality data.

 
07:25
 		 Animal Diffusion Imaging UHF
Hao Huang
The audience will understand current technical challenges and possible solutions of animal diffusion imaging at UHF. Several applications of animal diffusion imaging at UHF will be introduced. These applications include delineation of mouse embryo anatomical structures with high contrasts of diffusion tensor microimaging, microstructural measurement of animal brain cerebral cortex and white matter tracts, tractography of mouse brain white matter tracts, establishment of animal brain atlases and biomarker detection with diffusion MRI of animal model.
