RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
LABORATORY OF DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY RESEARCH
The Laboratory of Diagnostic Radiology Research (LDRR) serves as the focal point for the ISTP Fellows. The LDRR is equipped with a
state-of-the-art 1.5-Tesla MRI unit dedicated to LDRR's research. Its offices
and laboratory are networked to all imaging modalities in the Clinical Center,
thereby allowing Fellows to process their data on workstations using the
LDRR-developed Multimodality Radiological Image Processing System (MRIPS). The
LDRR lab provides bench research opportunities to Fellows.
Research Opportunities:
- Molecular imaging
- Magnetic resonance neuroimaging utilizing MR measures as
primary and secondary outcomes in treatment trial designs in central nervous
system diseases such as multiple sclerosis and stroke
- Magnetic resonance microscopy in experimental disease
models
- Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging for
measuring metabolite concentrations in various normal and central nervous
system diseases
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging including real-time
processing and statistical analysis for physiological interviews and measures
of cerebral perfusion
- Development of novel magnetic resonance pulse sequences to
be used for monitoring physiologic and metabolic processes in normal and
disease states
- Contrast agent development for molecular imaging and
cellular tags
- Innovative image processing and visualization
algorithms
