Overview
Research in the IRC focuses on several areas of interest. The primary research projects currently underway in the IRC employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain using dynamic perfusion imaging, diffusion imaging and BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) activation imaging; microscopic MRI of transgenic mice; structural and metabolic imaging of bones and joints; and in vivo proton and phosphorus MR spectroscopy (MRS) of brain metabolism using localized single volume and chemical shift imaging techniques.
