Preamplifier Noise Figure Measurement and Radio Frequency Field Optimization in High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DownloadFall 2013
High field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an area of research interest due to the associated improvement in image quality possible. This improvement comes at a cost. Hardware design becomes more complex in order to overcome technical challenges at these higher field strengths....

Quantifying Asymmetry and Performance of Lower Limb Mechanical Muscle Function in Varsity Athletes
DownloadFall 2019
In varsity sports, athletes are more susceptible to lower limb injury than the general population due to their continuous involvement in physically-demanding activity. Additionally, these athletes participate in high-level strength and conditioning training programs to ensure they are reaching...

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...

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Human Brain: Short Echo Timing, Thin Slab, and Non-harmonized Multisite Applications
DownloadSpring 2023
Quantifying tissue magnetic susceptibility provides a non-invasive way to monitor iron and myelin abnormalities associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a post-processing technique that retrieves the susceptibility distribution from the...

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Ischemic Stroke: Cerebral Veins, Tissue, and Microbleeds
DownloadSpring 2019
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) post-processing technique that uses phase images from a gradient echo sequence to create magnetic susceptibility maps. QSM is sensitive to paramagnetic iron found in various states of blood, from...
