Preclinical and Basic Research Using 7T-MRI
The Department of Bio-Medical Imaging has been developing methodological tools for image-based diagnosis, using 7T magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A new imaging and image processing theory has been established for the quantitative in vivo assessment of several biological and physiological functions. We are also aiming at applying these methodologies to investigate the pathophysiology of ischemic diseases both in the brain and the heart using preclinical 7T-MRI. Recent research topics from our group are presented in the following.
- Evaluation of cerebral and cardiovascular disease models using ultra-high field 7T-MRI
- Development of new imaging technology using ultra-high field 7T-MRI
