The Kirby Research Center is part of an
interdisciplinary resource providing state-of-the-art technology and extensive
MRI expertise. The Center is designed to facilitate biomedical research
with NIH funded neuroscientists at several institutions in Maryland and
throughout the USA.
The resources that are being developed and optimized at the Center for this purpose can be subdivided into the four technologies listed below. |
| Quantitative
functional MRI (fMRI)
Development and optimization of functional imaging methodologies. Principal investigators: James J. Pekar, Ph.D. (P.I.), Associate Professor of Radiology. Related Publications |
Multi-modality MRI and MRS for functional assessment of brain and spinal cord pathologies
Development of rapid quantitative methods in MRS and MRS Imaging. Principal Investigators: Peter B Barker (P.I.), Professor of Radiology & Oncology and Peter C.M. van Zijl (co-P.I.), Professor of Radiology & Biophysics. Related Publications. |
| Identification/Characterization
of Brain Connections
Development of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods for mapping neuronal pathways. Principal investigators: Susumu Mori, Ph.D. (P.I.) Related Publications. |
Algorithmic Methods
for Anatomical Brain Analysis
Development of advanced anatomical analysis tools for the integration of functional MRI methodologies. Principal investigator: Michael Miller, Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Related Publications. |
