ADVANCED IMAGING CORE

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 先进成像核心设施(AICF)是西弗吉尼亚大学高级成像中心(CAI)的研究组成部分，该中心位于健康科学中心(HSC)，占地20,000平方英尺(平面图如下)。核心包含磁共振成像(MRI)、诱发反应电位(ERP)成像和经颅磁刺激(TMS)研究的指定区域。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和计算机断层扫描(CT)的核心设备也是研究人员的宝贵资源。用户得到AICF工作人员的指导和/或协作协助，他们定期使用这些设施。AICF目前支持西弗吉尼亚大学12个系的教职员工的研究。通过过去的Cobre支持，AICF的使命是通过宣传核心能力、培训正确使用设备、开发研究设计和磁共振序列以及解释先进的成像数据来支持临床和基础科学研究人员。该设施将为广泛的科学项目提供支持。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The Advanced Imaging Core Facility (AICF) represents the research component of the WVU Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI), a 20,000 square-foot clinical and research imaging facility based in the Health Sciences Center (HSC) (floor plan below). The Core contains designated areas for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and evoked response potential (ERP) imaging, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies. Equipment within the core for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) are also valuable resources for investigators. Users receive guidance and/or collaborative assistance from AICF staff, who use the facilities on a regular basis. The AICF currently supports the research of faculty and staff from twelve departments at WVU. The mission of the AICF, which has been greatly facilitated through past COBRE support, is to support both clinical and basic science researchers through advertising of core capabilities, training on proper equipment use, development of study designs and MR sequences, and interpretation of advanced imaging data. A broad range of scientific projects will be supported by this facility.
