Magentic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
About
Joined University of Alberta in March 2003
Research
My responsibilities are to provide MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) experiments and analysis for the researchers using Peter S. Allen MR Research Centre, both in development of new techniques as well as in clinical research; also to provide technical support - in terms of MRI and ancillary equipment and computer/network infrastructure.
My main area of expertise is neuro imaging, functional MRI and MR Spectroscopy in particular, with additional focus on new methods such as QSM (quantitative susceptibility mapping) as well as MSK imaging and high-resolution imaging, using all magnets and platforms we have available. These techniques are allowing us to observe changes in brain functionality, changes in the brain metabolites, or evaluate iron content in-vivo.
Current studies cover research of neurological disorders, such as ALS and Multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injuries (human and pre-clinical research).
I'm also involved in collaborating in several mutli-site research studies, which bring the unique challanges of having to understand limitations of different vendors and platforms used in the MRI field. because of this I have gained some basic understanding of GE and Philips systems as well.
Analysis includes programming in MATLAB as well as using commercial software packages, such as LCModel.
I also assist our Senior Engineer, Karim Damji, in system maintenance and troubleshooting.
