Diffusion MRI: Fundamentals and Applications in Neuroimaging [A picture containing outdoor, tree, person, grass Description automatically generated] Yu-Chien Wu, MD, PhD, DABMP Showalter Scholar Associate Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences Scientific Director, In-Vivo Imaging Core Indiana University School of Medicine Abstract: Diffusion MRI was first introduced in 1985. Over the years, this method has continuously evolved. It begins with single-direction exponential decay, to multi-directional diffusion tensor imaging, multi-shell imaging, and so on. I will review some of the diffusion MRI approaches, current status, and applications in Alzheimer's disease, mild traumatic brain injury, and sport-related concussion. Bio: After studying physics at National Taiwan University with the Samuel Ting scholarship, Dr. Wu entered Kaohsiung Medical School and received an MD degree and license in Taiwan in 2000. Integrating her knowledge in both disciplines, she earned a PhD program in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006. Dr. Wu has many years' experience in medical imaging research. While her medical physics background covers a wide range of imaging instruments, she is an MRI Physicist by training and received Board Certification in 2016. She serves as the Scientific Director of the In-Vivo Imaging Core at Indiana University School of Medicine. The imaging core is equipped with research dedicated clinical 3T MRI scanners and PET-CT scanners, as well as a 9.4T PET-MRI scanner for preclinical imaging. Serving in this capacity, she oversees the daily operation of the Imaging Core and functionalities of imaging instruments and facilitate scientific activities in clinical and preclinical research. ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Yunjie Tong ~ -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list@ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
