Technique Development
Developing new tools and techniques is a longstanding cornerstone of the research that we do. We employ cutting-edge techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), cognitive and behavioral assessments, genomics, and biomechanics in clinical research and patient care. We also develop new methods for both acquiring and analyzing data – in particular, by developing quantitative analysis methods for MRI, including diffusion, perfusion, and functional MRI.
Our laboratory has long been a leader in the development and validation of techniques for the quantification of imaging abnormalities in individual patients. These approaches have enabled clinical translation and opened the door to an appreciation of interindividual differences in the distribution and location of disease.
