SUMMARY:Microstructure Imaging with Diffusion MRI - Ivana Drobnjak (Univer
 sity College London)

DESCRIPTION:The talk is focused on microstructure imaging paradigm which u
 ses mathematical and computational modeling together with cutting-edge mac
 hine learning and parameter estimation techniques to facilitate developmen
 t and application of new biomedical imaging techniques. Our primary focus 
 is on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion MRI) for medicine. S
 pecifically\, our techniques enhance understanding and early detection of 
 neurological conditions\, such as Alzheimer&rsquo\;s diseases\, other deme
 ntias\, multiple sclerosis\, and psychiatric disorders\, and assist in the
  diagnosis and treatment assignment for solid cancers. The paradigm uses m
 odel-based approaches to estimate tissue features traditionally accessible
  only through invasive biopsy and histology. The ultimate aim is replace s
 uch procedures\, which currently underpin the gold-standard diagnosis of m
 ost cancers and many neurological disorders\, with non-invasive imaging.&n
