National Resource for Quantitative Functional MRI NCRR

Welcome to the Resource for Quantitative Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Our resource is dedicated to the design of quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition and processing technology to assess tissue changes and alterations in function, metabolism, and physiology as the brain changes during neurodevelopment or neurodegeneration. This technology development is driven by the needs of a large community of clinicians and neuroscientists at several institutions in Maryland and throughout the USA. The technologies being developed are disseminated to large groups of investigators nationwide and throughout the world. This is accomplished through publications, training courses, and by making software and databases available.

We are supported by NIH/NCRR grant P41 EB015909 (formerly P41 RR015241). Our new website is: http://www.mri-resource.kennedykrieger.org.
