Advanced MRI Methods for VCI Research Workshop Series
Part IV – CBF and CBV Techniques and Applications - Speaker: Dr. Kamil Uludag
Dr. Kamil Uludag is an MRI physicist investigating the brain in healthy and diseased subjects with MRI. Dr. Uludag’s laboratory investigates quantitative MRI approaches at high- and ultra high- magnetic field strengths in order to answer fundamental neuroscience questions and to develop biomarkers for clinical applications.
Learning Objectives:
To understand physiological basis of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV)
To understand the differences between different acquisition types how they are probing brain physiology
This series aims to provide a series of introductory educational seminars on advanced MRI methods that are relevant to the study of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Each session is scheduled to be 1 hour leaving time for discussion and questions, and is aimed at a broad scientific trainee audience working in the VCI field.
Schedule: biweekly on Tuesdays 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. ET from January 16 - March 26 2024
