CIBM - CHUV conference by Prof. Xavier Golay   (March 23, 2009)

"Methods and hypotheses in ASL, from images to physiology"

by Prof. Xavier Golay, Chair of the MR Neurophysics and Translational Neuroscience - UCL Institute of Neurology - National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery - London


Summary :
Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a method to measure brain perfusion, which is by definition the steady state delivery of nutrient to an organ through the blood. Within the last two decades, this method has moved from the laboratory and is on the verge of becoming accepted clinically by a wider and wider number of clinicians. Yet, not all ASL pulse sequences are equivalent, and many of them can be used only under strict observance of basic assumptions.
This lecture will go over the main ASL pulse sequences and discuss their potential application and drawbacks in clinical and basic neuroscience.

This talk will take place in the Auditoire Jéquier-Doge - PMU - CHUV-BH08 in Lausanne, on March 23th (5:00 to 6:00pm).

"MR Imaging Methods for Alzheimer's Disease Multicenter Studies"

by Matt A. Bernstein, Ph.D. - from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA

ADNI is a large observational study of 800 subjects at more than 65 sites in North America and has led to related international efforts such as Japanese ADNI, European ADNI, and Australian ADNI. Its aims include the development of a validated biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. This talk will focus on the MR acquisition methods, specifically quality control and imaging protocol development. Preliminary results from ADNI data analysis and some emerging MRI methods will also be discussed.

This talk took place in the Auditoire Jéquier-Doge - PMU CHUV - Lausanne, on October 13th 2008 (11:00 to 12:30 am).
Duration: 40 min + time for questions

"Technological developments in PET, PET/CT and PET/MRI molecular imaging"

by Prof. Roger Lecomte et Philippe Bérard - Centre d'imagerie moléculaire de Sherbrooke - Université de Sherbrooke - Canada

Summary:
The clinical success of PET/CT in the last decade has triggered interest for multi-modality imaging in small animals. The combination of anatomical, functional and molecular information enhances imaging capabilities and offers new opportunities for biomedical research. The latest technological advancements in PET, PET/CT and PET/MRI for small animal imaging will be reviewed.

Seminar at CIBM by Dr. Benito de Celis Alonso   (September 2nd, 2008)

"Imaging cortical plasticity using a rat whisker model and BOLD fMRI"

by Dr. Benito de Celis Alonso - MRC Centre for Neurodegeneration Research - Institute of Psychiatry - King's College London.

Summary:
A large part of the neocortex is given over to topographic representations of sensory inputs and motor outputs termed cortical maps. fMRI is a non-invasive method used to know which cortical maps change their activity during a given task. fMRI can detect reorganization in adult human motor cortex and somatosensory cortex following learning but does it work in animal models?
Experience-dependent plasticity of cortical maps appears at all ages in animal models. Here, we examine whether plasticity of rat whisker representations can be imaged using blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI. We also present a whole series of findings related to the imaging of plasticity in rat whisker models.

This talk will take place in the CIBM conference room (CH F1 614) at EPFL - Lausanne, on September 2nd (10:00 am).
