21. Computational Diffusion MRI: Optimal Gradient Encoding Schemes
Abstract : Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a non-invasivestructural imaging technique that provides information about tissue microstructures.Quantitative measures derived from dMRI reflect pathologicaland developmental changes in living tissues such as human brain. READ MORE

22. Imaging Studies of Olfaction in Health and Parkinsonism
Abstract : Olfactory loss is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), often preceding the cardinal motor symptoms of the disease. The aim of this thesis was to: (a) evaluate whether olfactory examination can increase diagnostic accuracy, and (b) study the structural and functional neural basis of olfactory dysfunction in PD with different applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

23. Quantitative methods for tumor imaging with dynamic PET
Abstract : There is always a need and drive to improve modern cancer care. Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) offers the advantage of in vivo functional imaging, combined with the ability to follow the physiological processes over time. READ MORE

24. Nuclear medicine imaging and treatment in pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and role of the new tracer 11C-hydroxy ephedrine in diabetes mellitus
Abstract : Carbon-11 hydroxy ephedrine (11C-HED) is a norepinephrine analog which binds to the norepinephrine receptor present in adrenal medulla, lung, liver and pancreas. 11C-HED-positron emission tomography with concomitant computed tomography (PET/CT) can image these organs. READ MORE

25. NMR Imaging of Flow and Perfusion using Hyperpolarized Nuclei: Theoretical Considerations and Application to Experimental Models
Abstract : In the studies presented in this thesis, hyperpolarized tracers have been used for the study of macroscopic flow and capillary perfusion with magnetic resonance imaging. The feasibility of performing vascular studies using echo-planar imaging (EPI) and hyperpolarized 129Xe was investigated using xenon dissolved in ethanol prior to injection into a flow phantom.
