Center for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Technology at Stanford

建议更新NCRR先进磁共振技术中心。磁性 共振仪器制造商在市场营销的基础上，在产品中引入新技术 常常妨碍调查人员及时获得尖端研究能力的其他因素。 为了填补这一空白，该中心将在五项核心研究中开发和提供创新技术 磁共振成像和波谱(MRI/MRS)领域：(1)图像重建、快速成像 和RF脉冲设计方法，(2)MR硬件，(3)身体成像方法，(4)神经成像方法，以及 (5)磁共振波谱方法。在上述每一个领域，我们都将充分利用 斯坦福大学放射学和电气工程系改进和扩展成像技术 用于基础研究和临床护理，并为生物医学研究提供前沿机会 通过核磁共振..。 在过去的五年里，该中心一直受到广泛的非政府组织的激励和服务 来自领先医疗和研究机构的赞助合作者和服务用户。我们将继续 促进这些合作，共同丰富我们的研究和开发努力。举例 今天的合作项目是开发和使用先进的功能磁共振成像方法 有效的MRS方法在乳腺癌的神经科学和临床应用研究中的应用。 我们将继续培养学生和博士后研究员，使他们成为MR未来的领导者，以出版 并为我们所服务的科学界和医学界提供教育机会。 在该中心开发的新技术和技术能力是我们广泛的 附属研究将迅速传播，以便在国家研究界广泛使用。 出版物、会议演示文稿、年度报告和互联网将继续构成 我们的传播努力。

Renewal of the NCRR Center for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Technology is proposed. Magnetic resonance instrument manufacturers Introduce new technology in their products based on marketing and other factors that often preclude the timely availability of cutting edge research capabilities for investigators. To fill this gap, the Center will develop and make available innovative technologies in five core research areas of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI/MRS): (1) image reconstruction, fast imaging and RF pulse design methods, (2) MR hardware, (3) body imaging methods, (4) neuroimaging methods, and (5) MR spectroscopy methods. In each of these areas, we will capitalize on the extensive experience in Stanford's Radiology and Electrical Engineering departments to improve and expand imaging technology for use in basic research and clinical care, and to provide cutting edge opportunities for biomedical research with MRI.. Over the past five years, the Center has been motivated by and has served a wide base of extramurally sponsored collaborators and service users from leading medical and research institutions. We will continue to nurture these collaborations and mutually enrich our research and development efforts. Examples of collaborative projects today are the development and use of advanced functional MRI imaging methods in neurosciences and clinical applications and studies of breast cancer with efficient MRS methods. We will continue to train students and postdoctoral fellows to be the future leaders in MR, to publish extensively, and to provide educational opportunities to the scientific and medical communities we serve. New technology and technological capabilities developed at the Center and as part of our extensive collateral research will be disseminated rapidly for widespread use in the national research community. Publications, conference presentations, annual reports and the internet will continue to form the backbone of our dissemination efforts.
