Research

A hyperpermeable blood brain barrier is a marker of inflammation. Hyperpermeability of the blood brain barrier can also be induced pharmacologically or physically.  This project concerns the development and the validation of a dynamic MRI technique for the detection of blood brain barrier disruption and the quantification of the Gd-DOTA uptake in brain tissue.
