MR spectroscopy and imaging; evaluating the effects of environmental neurotoxicants and radiation

Biography

Kim M. Cecil, PhD, received her undergraduate and postgraduate training in chemistry. After a post-doctoral fellowship in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Cecil joined the Radiology Department and the Imaging Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 1998. She serves as an imaging research scientist and clinical MR spectroscopist.

In 2000, Kim M. Cecil, PhD, Antonius deGrauw, MD, PhD and Gajja Salomons, PhD, discovered creatine transporter deficiency syndrome, a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the creatine transporter gene (SLC6A8). Male patients demonstrate a significant reduction or absence of creatine in the brain, as indicated by MR spectroscopy. This is an X-linked mental retardation disorder thought to be second only to fragile X in prevalence.

Biography

Dr. Schmithorst is a physicist by training with BS, MS, and PhD degrees from the University of Cincinnati. Schmithorst's thesis was on utilizing an ionizing radiation detector in digital projection radiography to separate bone from soft-tissue components using information from the penetration depth of the x-ray beam.

Dr. Schmithorst came to the Imaging research Center in the Fall of 1997. He is currently engaged in research projects involving the:

Development of language function and math processing in children using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
Investigation of the correlation of musical training with math ability on school-age children using fMRI, white matter maturation in children's brains using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
Development of appropriate fMRI data acquisition and post-processing techniques in subjects with developmental or acquired communication disorders
Use of information-theoretic methods, such as Independent Component Analysis (ICA), for analysis for fMRI data

As part of his research efforts, Schmithorst has authored Cincinnati Children's Hospital Image Processing Software (CCHIPS), an extensive software suite for MRI image reconstruction and post-processing in the Interactive Data Language (IDL) programming environment. CCHIPS is available free of charge for research purposes only to all interested parties.

Neonatal MR acquisition technique development, optimization and application

Biography

Jean Tkach, PhD, received her undergraduate and graduate training in biomedical engineering. She is an MRI physicist by training who has been involved in MRI research since 1985.

Dr. Tkach joined the Cincinnati Children's faculty in the Fall of 2010. Throughout her career, the majority of her effort has been dedicated to the development, implementation, optimization and application of novel MRI acquisition techniques to address clinical as well as more fundamental research questions. The majority of these efforts have been dedicated toward neuroimaging. However, she has also been actively involved in research to advance the fields of cardiac, body and musculoskeletal MR imaging. Although most of Dr. Tkach's work has been directed toward human imaging, she also has been actively involved in multiple animal MR imaging studies.

Dr. Tkach’s research currently focuses on the development and implementation of state of the art MRI acquisition techniques optimized for (and to best address the most relevant clinical needs of) the neonate that exploit new technology being developed for this purpose. Most recently, Dr. Tkach received the Caffey Award for the Best Basic Science Research Paper at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the International Society for Pediatric Radiology.

Dr. Tkach is also is a consultant on the Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Biography

Patrick Winter, PhD received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri and his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Patrick returned to Washington University as a post-doc in 2000 and subsequently became an Assistant Professor of Medicine in 2005. He took a one-year leave of absence from his faculty position in 2008 to initiate clinical trials of an investigational MRI contrast agent with a small bio-technology company in St. Louis named Kereos. In 2010, he joined the Imaging Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Dr. Winter has more than 15 years of experience in MRI research, with a strong record of publications (51 peer-reviewed journal papers, 13 book chapters and 79 scientific abstracts) and grant funding from the NIH and private sources (4 grants as principal investigator and 5 grants as co-investigator). In addition, Dr. Winter is involved in reviewing journal articles, teaching at university and professional levels, organizing courses and scientific sessions, consulting for pharmaceutical companies and participating in professional societies. His current research interests include molecular imaging of cancer and cardiovascular disease, multi-nuclear imaging and spectroscopy, activatable MRI contrast agents, and automated image processing routines.
