Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable imaging modality and is commonplace in diagnosing, evaluating, and understanding the pathobiology of many neurological disorders. Current methods are helpful in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) but fail to provide useful longitudinal...

Spinal cord injury is most commonly caused by physical trauma, and the resulting functional loss can vary considerably in both degree, extent and location. Understanding what spinal cord tissue is damaged and to what degree can be useful in both determining the appropriate treatment for...

Simultaneous Measurement of Blood Flow and Oxygen Consumption Immediately Post-Exercise with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DownloadFall 2014
Invasively measuring blood flow and oxygen consumption during exercise has been used to help advance performance, stratify fitness levels and most importantly to aid in clinical diagnoses and track disease or recovery progression. There is currently no non-invasive method for measuring skeletal...

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that provides image contrast based on an important underlying brain tissue property. It is derived from the phase images from a gradient echo sequence, and overcomes the orientation dependency problem...

In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radio frequency (RF) detectors or “coils” are used to excite and receive signal from the nuclear spins. This thesis focuses on the design and development of RF coils and methods to achieve the best possible image quality at high static magnetic field strengths...

Measurement and Correction for the Magnetic Susceptibility Effects of Fat in Venous Oximetry: Application in the Quantification of Muscle Oxygen Consumption (VO2) with Plantar Flexion Exercise
DownloadSpring 2018
Measuring venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) provides direct assessment of the upstream muscle or organ's ability to extract and metabolize oxygen. Previously, measurement of venous oxygen saturation has been performed in most studies by intravenous catheterization. This approach has the advantage...
