View source for Mbirn: Validation (quantitative analyses, publications)

'''Goals:'''<br /> To validate our acquisition protocols and software correction tools with quantitative analyses that is published in peer reviewed journals.

<br />'''Actions:'''

* '''T1-based morphometry'''

** Evaluation of acquisition protocols, corrections and morphometry tools: reproducibility (SNR/CNR/GM/WM/CSF) and AD vs Control sensitivity (AD)
** Unwarping manuscript (JJ)

* '''T2-based morphometry'''

** Gathering of preliminary lesion reproducibibility data (JM, GG)

* '''Diffusion MRI- Acquisition parameter optimization'''

** FA reproducibility: SNR, b-value, TE, #directions
** Manuscript (to come, SNR, b-value)

* '''Diffusion MRI- Distortion correction minimization'''

** Bo + eddy current correction manuscript (in progress)
** Philips (JHU) implementation & comparisons: no-SENSE, SENSE
