Depth- and curvature-based quantitative susceptibility mapping analyses of cortical iron in Alzheimer’s disease.
BIAC researchers led by Jenna Merenstein and David Madden conducted column-based QSM analyses of cortical iron in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and healthy controls. Iron increased for AD patients in topographically heterogenous manner across the cortical mantle, which may help explain the qualitative difference in the cognitive decline in AD as compared to healthy aging.
Quantitative susceptibility mapping of brain iron in healthy aging and cognition
BIAC researchers David Madden and Jenna Merenstein have published a review of studies that use quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to estimate age-related differences in brain iron deposition and the relation to cognition.

Flexible multi-purpose integrated RF/shim coil array for MRI and localized B0 shimming
BIAC researchers led by Devon Overson, Dean Darnell, and Trong-Kha Truong from the MR Engineering Lab have developed a flexible multi-purpose integrated parallel reception, excitation, and shimming (iPRES) coil array for simultaneous imaging and localized B0 shimming.
High-resolution multi-shot diffusion imaging of structural networks in healthy neurocognitive aging
BIAC researchers led by Jenna Merenstein and David Madden demonstrated significant differences in estimates of structural brain network connectivity, in relation to adult age and cognitive performance, for a high-resolution multi-shot diffusion-weighted imaging protocol, as compared to a standard resolution protocol.
Numerical simulations of an integrated radio-frequency/wireless coil design for simultaneous acquisition and wireless transfer of magnetic resonance imaging data
