Brain Correlates of Vulnerability to Severe Mental Illness
(2020-10-07)Severe mental illness (SMI) refers to major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The early onset and prolonged course make SMI a leading cause of disability in the population. There is a growing need ... -
Efficacy and Utility of Image Quality Metrics in Magnetic Resonance Image Reconstruction
(2019-08-22)Quantitative measurement of MRI image quality is a difficult, but important problem that can have direct and indirect benefits to MRI research. Objective image quality metrics (IQMs), such as root-mean-squared-error (RMSE) ... -
Improved functional magnetic resonance imaging at 4.0 T
(2015-04-13)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an important tool for the study of the human brain. When performed at higher field strengths, fMRI offers increased signal strength and sensitivity to activation. Unfortunately, ... -
KNEE MECHANICS OF HEALTHY AND OSTEOARTHRITIC JOINTS
(2019-12-17)Objective: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) can be the result of both mechanical and biological events that interfere with normal joint function. The aims of this thesis were to (1) quantify the biomechanical factors that ... -
Non-Destructive Characterization of Degradation and Drug Release Processes in Calcium Polyphosphate Bioceramics Using MRI
(2010-12-21)A modern approach to the treatment of localized disease involves the use of advanced polymeric or ceramic implant materials for controlled-rate drug delivery. These implants are dynamic systems that maintain drug concentrations ... -
