Kim, Jejoong (2008-07-23)Department: PsychologyThis dissertation aimed to investigate perception of socially-relevant visual stimuli in schizophrenia. Past studies have revealed that schizophrenia patients (SZ) are deficient in processing rapid visual stimuli (e.g. ...
-
Barquero, Laura Alley (2015-03-31)Department: Special EducationPrevious studies have shown that some children with reading difficulties (RD) respond well to reading intervention while others do not. The purpose of this study was to examine whether functional neuroimaging prior to ...
-
Ou, Xiawei (2007-11-29)Department: PhysicsThis dissertation discusses magnetization transfer effects in magnetic resonance imaging and the development and applications of quantitative magnetization transfer imaging techniques. Specifically, the magnetization ...

Moore, Jason Edward (2011-04-15)Department: PhysicsThe increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that accompanies the use of stronger static fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has driven the use of increasingly higher fields ever since the technology's inception over ...
-
Poorman, Megan Elizabeth (2018-08-03)Department: Biomedical EngineeringMinimally-invasive thermal therapies, such as focused ultrasound, laser, or RF ablation, are a viable alternative to more invasive surgical procedures. These interventional therapies can be used treat everything from cancer ...
-
Coaster, Mariam (2012-03-31)Department: NeuroscienceThe midbrain dopamine system located within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra (SN) contain dopaminergic (DA) neurons that are known to mediate various goal directed behaviors. Although research with ...

Towards population based characterization of neuronal fiber pathways with diffusion tensor imaging Xu, Qing (2010-07-27)Department: Electrical EngineeringDiffusion tensor imaging has been widely used to reconstruct neuronal fibers in the human brain. Studying these fibers often requires them to be grouped into bundles that correspond to coherent anatomic structures. Several ...
-
Li, Hua (2015-07-06)Department: PhysicsDiffusion MRI provides a non-invasive means to characterize tissue microstructure at varying length scales. Apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of tissue water may be measured at relatively long diffusion times with ...
-
Ianni, Julianna Denise (2015-11-20)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe goal of this research is to develop image reconstruction techniques to automatically correct for errors in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data due to errors in the trajectory used in the data acquisition. A method ...
-
Ianni, Julianna Denise (2017-11-27)Department: Biomedical EngineeringHigh field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers several advantages over imaging at low field strengths, namely increased spectral resolution, better contrast due to longer T1 relaxation, higher signal to noise ratio ...
-
Choe, Ann Sunah (2010-09-23)Department: Biomedical EngineeringDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides an indirect measure of tissue structure on microscopic scales. To date, DTI is the only imaging method that provides such information in vivo, and it has proven to be a valuable tool ...
-
Gao, Yurui (2013-04-15)Department: Biomedical EngineeringDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a unique approach to probing the microstructure of biological tissues noninvasively and DTI-based tractography is an irreplaceable tool to measure anatomical connectivity in human ...
