Neuroimaging Research Program

Project Description Narrative:

In recent years, rapid evolution of imaging science has made it possible to distinguish pathological processes in unique ways, such as the increasing ability to understand normal physiological mechanisms within the nervous system using increasingly sophisticated digital imaging techniques. Ultimately, these advances in medical imaging will improve long-term outcomes for patients suffering from neurological disease and injury.

Through this award, the Medical College of Wisconsin will establish a translational research program that will employ a wide spectrum of imaging techniques and allow for the study of patients with given pathologies, evaluation of the evolution of their disorders, and the development of techniques the will allow clinicians to begin therapies much earlier and improve quality of life for the health of patients in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
