With the recent developments in MRI technology, it is now possible to non-invasively measure underlying biochemical and metabolic properties of brain tissue. The multi-echo gradient recall echo MRI

Cutting-edge brain imaging technologies are being used to examine the neurobiological features associated with having a high risk for dementia                   While the burden of dementia occurs late in life, neuropathology accumulates for decades prior to the onset of dementia. Interventions to modify the course of the […]

Diffusion MRI for modelling the normal neurodevelopment of the infant brain   Together with our collaborators at the Queensland Cerebral Palsy and Rehabilitation Research Centre and the Perinatal Research Centre, we are investigating the relationship between early MRI and clinical assessments, and clinical outcomes. Infants recruited in this study are born at less than 31 completed weeks […]

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic disorder in the human population. It is characterised by inflammation and recurrent and chronic infections of the lungs causing progressive loss in

CONSULT is a 3D experience that allows neurosurgeons to see the invisible, making brain surgery safer and more effective than ever before       Brain Surgery Remains A High-Risk Procedure Brain surgery is dangerous. The brain contains about a trillion axons – microscopic ‘wires’ that carry information. Surgeons need to cut through a subset […]
