Hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in major depressive disorder: a high field MRI study
DownloadFall 2012
The hippocampus is a brain structure responsible for memory, learning, and the stress response; it is also used as a model for major depressive disorder (MDD) in preclinical studies. Preclinical models have shown that the hippocampal subfields are differentially affected by chronic stress....

Investigation of gradient echo MRI for blood vessel imaging and susceptibility-weighted imaging in the human brain
DownloadSpring 2010
Despite the vast myriad of applications and the long way it has come, MRI is still a relatively new field of knowledge with much prospect for more advancement and expansion. This work is mainly concerned with two gradient echo imaging methods which are directly or indirectly related to blood...

Introduction: Acute blood pressure (BP) reduction is among the few treatments options available in the acute management of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent observational studies have demonstrated the presence of lesions suggestive of ischemia on diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) on MRI. We...

Long-term cardiovascular and metabolic effects of hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restriction
DownloadSpring 2011
Rueda-Clausen, Christian Federico
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are still the primary cause of death and disability in modern society. Although genetic factors play a fundamental role in the development of these chronic conditions, the remarkable variability in an individual’s susceptibility to develop these pathologies...

Magnetic resonance imaging based radiotherapy treatment planning: problems, solutions, and applications
DownloadFall 2010
Despite their unmatched soft-tissue contrast, Magnetic Resonance (MR) images suffer from wide-ranging image distortions; this has raised questions about their suitability as an imaging modality upon which to base conformal radiation therapy treatment plans. This thesis addresses image distortion...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Advances in Measuring Cortical Microstructure
DownloadFall 2020
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) encompasses a large spectrum of physical, cognitive and behavioral deficits resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown structural and functional brain alterations in children and adolescents with...

Measuring Dynamic Changes in Lung Water Density and Volume Following Supine Body Positioning Using Free-Breathing UTE MRI
DownloadSpring 2024
An excess of extravascular lung water (EVLW) is known as pulmonary edema, and is associated with dyspnea and poor exercise capacity, heart complications, heart failure, and can be a predictor of poor health outcomes. Recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequencing and hardware...
