SUMMARY:Seminar on 40 Years of Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Human Brain
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe development of whole-body MRI scanners in the late 1980s at field strengths of 1.5T\, together with other fundamental technological advances such shielded field gradients and single-shot spatial localization techniques\, enabled the non-invasive collection of spectra from the human in just a few minutes of scan time. Since that time\, there have been many technical advances and clinical studies performed\, and it remains an active area of research and development. This presentation will review key technical developments including spatial localization techniques for both single voxel spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging\, spectral analysis\, spectral editing\, and the effects of increasing magnetic field strength. In addition\, the metabolic information from in vivo MRS will be discussed\, including metabolic changes that can be detected in various pathological states\, and applications in the clinic. Finally\, some of the challenges facing the clinical use of MRS and sustainability will be discussed. \nSpeaker\nProf. Peter BARKER\nDirector of Division of MR Research\nJohn Hopkins University School of Medicine \nSpeaker’s Biography\nPeter BARKER\, D.Phil.\, is a Professor of Radiology and Oncology\, and Director of the Division of MR Research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore\, Maryland. He holds a D.Phil. degree in Physical Chemistry from Oxford University.  Since 1989\, he has been a faculty member of the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins\, where his primary interest has been the development of proton MR spectroscopy\, and other MRI techniques\, for applications in the human brain. He has published over 315 original\, peer-reviewed articles\, more than 45 commentaries\, review articles and book chapters\, as well as 3 books on Clinical MR Neuroimaging\, Spectroscopy and Perfusion Imaging. Dr Barker is a fellow of the ISMRM society\, and an editor for the journals Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and NMR in Biomedicine. \nOrganiser\nProf. Ed Xuekui WU\nChair of Biomedical Engineering\,\nLam Woo Professorship in Biomedical Engineering\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong\n\nAll are welcome!
