Research featured at ISMRM Annual Meeting

Recent work from the lab, lead by first author Dr. Rachael Stickland, was featured in the closing highlights session of the annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. The meeting, held virtually for the first time, brought together over 5 thousand clinicians and scientists in the field of MRI and medical imaging for a week of talks, poster presentations, and virtual discussion. Dr. Stickland’s work was selected and discussed by Dr. Kevin Murphy (Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Center), and demonstrates our lab’s proposed technique for characterizing the responsiveness of brain blood vessels using a simple, feasible, breathing task protocol during scanning. Congrats to all the authors!
