Biomedical technology research center that develops innovative technologies in five core research areas of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI/MRS): # image reconstruction, fast imaging and radiofrequency (RF) pulse design methods, # R hardware development, # body imaging methods, # neuroimaging methods. # MR spectroscopy methods. In each of these areas, they capitalize on the long-standing, successful partnership and extensive experience in Stanford's Radiology and Electrical Engineering departments to improve and expand imaging technology for use in basic research and clinical care, and to provide cutting edge opportunities to the extramural community for biomedical research with MRI. Over its more than 18 years of existence, CAMRT has been motivated by and has served a wide base of extramurally sponsored collaborators and service users from leading medical and research institutions. Examples of collaborative projects are the development of real-time functional MRI biofeedback methods for neuroscience and clinical applications such as pain remediation, development of methods to mitigate metal artifacts in musculoskeletal imaging, development of novel RF pulses for many applications, and studies of breast cancer with efficient MRS methods.

Biomedical technology research center that develops and applies new methods for analysis of metabolic networks in intact tissues, animals and human patients. The importance of understanding abnormal metabolism in common diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease has long been appreciated. Because of constraints in technology, however, much of this research has been conducted in isolated systems where clinical relevance may be uncertain. Progress in magnetic resonance technology provides a foundation for major advances towards new ways of imaging metabolism in patients. These new techniques offer the advantage of imaging biochemical pathways without radiation. The focus of this Resource is to bring these technologies to a level where clinical research is feasible through the development of new MR contrast agents, NMR spectroscopy at high fields, and imaging of hyperpolarized 13C.

Biomedical technology research center with the focus on the application to biomedical research of a new generation of secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS), the Multi-Isotope Imaging Mass Spectrometer (MIMS). MIMS is an ion microscope and an ion counter. MIMS provides high mass separation at high transmission (M/lambdaM > 10,000), high spatial resolution (< 40 nm) and has the unique capability of simultaneously recording several atomic mass images. Of the utmost importance, MIMS makes it possible for the first time (and at the intracellular level) to simultaneously image the distribution and measure the accumulation of molecules labeled with any isotopes, in particular with stable isotopes, for example with 15N. Thus, MIMS allows one to study localization, accumulation and turnover of proteins, fats, sugars and foreign molecules in cellular microdomains, donor-receiver cellular trafficking, stem cell nesting and localization of drugs. Their aim is to be a technological, methodological, and intellectual resource for researchers from a variety of disciplines. They seek to explore and develop the unique capabilities of MIMS and to bring cutting-edge information to biology and medicine that is currently unobtainable using existing technologies.

Data set of over 1500 one- and two-minute EEG recordings, obtained from 109 volunteers. Subjects performed different motor/imagery tasks while 64-channel EEG were recorded using the BCI2000 system (http://www.bci2000.org). Each subject performed 14 experimental runs: two one-minute baseline runs (one with eyes open, one with eyes closed), and three two-minute runs of each of the four following tasks: # A target appears on either the left or the right side of the screen. The subject opens and closes the corresponding fist until the target disappears. Then the subject relaxes. # A target appears on either the left or the right side of the screen. The subject imagines opening and closing the corresponding fist until the target disappears. Then the subject relaxes. # A target appears on either the top or the bottom of the screen. The subject opens and closes either both fists (if the target is on top) or both feet (if the target is on the bottom) until the target disappears. Then the subject relaxes. # A target appears on either the top or the bottom of the screen. The subject imagines opening and closing either both fists (if the target is on top) or both feet (if the target is on the bottom) until the target disappears. Then the subject relaxes. The data are provided here in EDF+ format (containing 64 EEG signals, each sampled at 160 samples per second, and an annotation channel).

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/rmdtitemplate/

A population-specific DTI template for young adolescent Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) monkeys using 271 high-quality scans. Using such a large number of animals in generating a template allows it to account for variability in the species. Their DTI template is based on the largest number of animals ever used in generating a computational brain template. It is anticipated that their DTI template will help facilitate voxel-based and tract specific WM analyses in non-human primate species, which in turn may increase our understanding of brain function, development, and evolution.

http://bmsr.usc.edu/software/eons/

Modeling platform to study the basic interactions between synaptic elements that allows the user to study qualitatively, and also quantitatively the relative contributions of diverse mechanisms underlying synaptic efficacy: the relevance of each and every element that comprises a synapse, the interactions between these components and their subcellular distribution, as well as the influence of synaptic geometry (presynaptic terminal, cleft and postsynaptic density). This platform consists of a graphical interface in which elements that comprise a single glutamatergic synapse (both pre- and post-synaptically), their behavior as well as the underlying synaptic geometry can be modified. For example, EONS offers the ability to study the effect of voltage-gated calcium channels density and distribution, the number and location of receptors and more. EONS is a parametric model of a generic glutamatergic synapse that takes into account pre-synaptic mechanisms, such as calcium buffering and diffusion, neurotransmitter release, diffusion and uptake in the cleft, and postsynaptic elements, such as ionotropic AMPA and NMDA receptors, their distribution and synaptic geometry, as well as metabotropic glutamate receptors. There are no complicated equations to write: all the models are predefined. This version is a great tool for first time users and students interested in learning about synapses, as well as for studying geometry and distribution hypotheses in a 2D rectangular geometry. System Requirements: EONS V1.2 is a Windows program but can be also successfully installed and run on Mac and Linux.

http://dti-tk.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php

A spatial normalization and atlas construction toolkit optimized for examining white matter morphometry using DTI data with special care taken to respect the tensorial nature of the data. It implements a state-of-the-art registration algorithm that drives the alignment of white matter (WM) tracts by matching the orientation of the underlying fiber bundle at each voxel. The algorithm has been shown to both improve WM tract alignment and to enhance the power of statistical inference in clinical settings. A 2011 study published in NeuroImage ranks DTI-TK the top-performing tool in its class. Key features include: * open standard-based file IO support: NIfTI format for scalar, vector and tensor image volumes * tool chains for manipulating tensor image volumes: resampling, smoothing, warping, registration & visualization * pipelines for WM morphometry: spatial normalization & atlas construction for population-based studies * built-in cluster-computing support: support for open source Sun Grid Engine (SGE) * Interoperability with other popular DTI tools: AFNI, Camino, FSL & DTIStudio * Interoperability with ITK-SNAP: support multi-modal visualization and segmentation
