DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this program project grant application is to change current clinical paradigms through the support of accurate, early detection and measurement of breast cancer response to chemotherapy (Projects 1, 3), and presurgical motor and temporal language cortex evaluation of brain function (Project 2) through the development, application and testing of robust and sophisticated registration and related signal processing tools. Project 1 investigates the efficacy of early-assessment and measurement of response to neoadjuvant chemo or hormonal therapy for patients with breast cancer obtained through the use of volumetric, diffusion and dynamic contrast enhancement MRI. The hypothesis is that nonlinear registration of interval breast exams increases the sensitivity and specificity of functional diffusion mapping (fDM) as well as the accuracy of dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE). Developing low noise, unbiased tools for assessing lesion response to therapy is currently an important topic. Project 2 extends previously completed work on registration-based fMRI motion by examining the benefits of combining our unique motion correction method with different fMRI acquisition protocols, e.g. clustered acquisition, to improve communication with the patient and response monitoring. Project 3 addresses the fundamental ambiguity problem in dynamic MRI associated with imaging in general: for any given technique either we can obtain high spatial or temporal resolution imaging data, but not both. Generalized techniques that support controlling and optimizing these tradeoffs during dynamic imaging in MRI are very important.

描述（申请人提供）：该项目资助申请的总体目标是通过支持乳腺癌对化疗反应的准确、早期检测和测量来改变当前的临床模式（项目1、3）和术前运动和颞叶语言皮层脑功能评估（项目2）通过开发、应用和测试强大而复杂的配准和相关的信号处理工具。项目1研究了通过使用容积、弥散和动态对比增强MRI对乳腺癌患者进行新辅助化疗或激素治疗的早期评估和反应测量的有效性。假设间隔乳房检查的非线性配准增加了功能性扩散映射（FDM）的灵敏度和特异性以及动态对比增强（VCE）的准确性。开发低噪声、无偏倚的工具来评估病变对治疗的反应是目前的一个重要课题。项目2扩展了先前完成的基于配准的fMRI运动的工作，通过研究将我们独特的运动校正方法与不同的fMRI采集协议（例如集群采集）相结合的好处，以改善与患者的沟通和反应监测。项目3解决了与一般成像相关的动态MRI中的基本模糊性问题：对于任何给定的技术，我们可以获得高空间或时间分辨率的成像数据，但不能同时获得两者。支持在MRI动态成像期间控制和优化这些权衡的通用技术是非常重要的。
