My research concentrates on the development of new functional
agents for in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, the use of radiofrequency
microcoils for high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance and microscopy,
and hardware development for functional brain mapping using MRI.
Applications include non-invasive temperature mapping of hyperthermia
treatment of cancer, NMR imaging of single neuronal cells, and
mapping of brain areas associated with different memory and attentional
paradigms.
