IMAGING CORE

成像核心将由胡小平博士指导，并由Timothy Duong博士共同指导，将提供 满足所有活体成像需求的能力和服务，包括数据采集和处理，由 这笔赠款中的项目。成像研究将使用磁共振成像(MRI)在 耶尔克斯灵长类中心成像中心的非人灵长类动物和 位于埃默里校区的生物医学成像技术中心。胡博士将指导数据采集工作。杜昂博士 将在耶克斯国家灵长类研究中心的新成像中心协调动物扫描。 核心将提供技术支持和服务，将采用目前使用的最先进的技术 人类对非人类灵长类动物的研究，并确保人类和 非人类研究。具体地说，成像核心将1)提供持续咨询和技术支持 对于研究人员来说，2)开发MRI序列和方案，并采用最先进的成像技术来 非人灵长类，3)提供图像数据收集服务，4)提供图像分析服务

The imaging core, to be directed by Dr. Xiaoping Hu and co-directed by Dr. Timothy Duong, will provide the capabilities and services for all in vivo imaging needs, including data acquisition and processing, by the projects in this grant. Imaging studies will employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to be carried out in non-human primates in the imaging center at Yerkes Primate Center and in human subjects in the biomedical imaging technology center on Emory campus. Dr. Hu will direct the data acquisition. Dr. Duong will coordinate the animal scans at the new Imaging Center of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. The core will provide technical support and service, will adapt state-of-the-art techniques currently used with humans to the study of nonhuman primates, and ensure the comparability of results from human and nonhuman studies. Specifically, the imaging core will 1) provide continued consultation and technical support to investigators, 2) develop MRI sequences and protocols and adapt state-of-the-art imaging techniques to nonhuman primates, 3) provide image data collection service and 4) provide image analysis services
