The G.R. Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory and the Department of Electrical 
Engineering and Computer Science would like to invite you to the next 
seminar in our series on Modern Optics and Spectroscopy.

Date & Time:            Tuesday, October 19, 12 noon - 1 PM
Location:               Grier Room (34-401)
Speaker:                Elfar Adalsteinsson, Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology
Title:          Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging: Spatial encoding 
and applications to disease

Refreshments will be served following the talk.


Abstract:
Elfar Adalsteinsson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging: Spatial encoding and applications 
to disease
The goal of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging is to map the 
spatial distribution of MR-detectable biochemicals in vivo. We describe how 
time-varying readout gradients can be used to overcome limits on 
conventional spectroscopic imaging due to the conventional method of 
spatial encoding. Studies of Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis 
using these methods with large-volume brain imaging will be presented.
