Our resource is dedicated to the design of quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition and processing technology to assess tissue changes and alterations in function, metabolism, and physiology as the brain changes during neurodevelopment or neurodegeneration. This technology development is done in collaboration with a large community of clinicians and neuroscientists at several institutions in Maryland and throughout the USA. The technologies being developed are disseminated to investigators nationwide and throughout the world. This is accomplished through publications, training courses, and by making software and databases available.
