Laboratory for Structural NMR Imaging
Research of the Laboratory aims to quantitatively characterize tissue micro-architecture and its relationship to physiology and function by means of spatially resolved nuclear magnetic resonance and CT in animals and humans.
The current focus of the laboratory is the development of new methods for the quantitative assessment of metabolic bone disease by means of the MR-based "virtual bone biopsy," and new methods for the study of tissue mineralization. A second line of research focuses on the quantification of carotid artery disease and its implications on brain perfusion.
Additional projects deal with ultra high-resolution microscopy of neuronal architecture in spinal cord injury models as well as methods for indirect assessment of tissue microstructure by means of diffusion diffraction, anisotropic dipolar relaxation, and multiple quantum coherence imaging.
