Abstract Guidelines

Length: 100 to 200 words

Format:
Title - A short catchy title describing your research project. (Need not be the title of your research~) Author(s) - Centered with your name underlined or *'ed.

Abstract - An abstract should pique the reader's curiosity, to come and read your poster. It should contain a brief background statement as to the significance of (need for) the research along with your results and their significance.

About the Presenter - An additional paragraph containing one or two sentences describing you. For example: Susan Que is a senior imaging science student at RIT with a minor in physics. Her research interests include nonfocusing optics and femptosecond spectroscopy.

A Novel Approach to Spectral MRI

Tiffant A. Fetzner* and Joseph P. Hornak

Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-established diagnostic medical imaging technique based on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phenomenon. Unfortunately, traditional MRI averages the rich spectral information available in NMR spectroscopy and presents it as a single image. This study examines the feasibility of extracting the NMR spectral information available from the tissues. The approach is based on the variable bandwidth (VBW) imaging technique, which spatially separates the spectral information in an image. In conventional VBW imaging, this separation is considered an undesirable artifact. We have determined that this separation is equivalent to data projections in a spatial-spectral domain; therefore, the application of an inverse Radon transform will recover spatial images of the different spectral components. The theory and application of this technique to synthetic images will be presented.
