Overview: Research includes imaging studies of connective tissue biophysics (whole cartilage, chondrocytes in culture, and in vivo cartilage imaging), spectroscopic studies of muscle metabolism under a variety of pharmacologic and physiologic conditions, and methodology development in imaging and spectroscopy. |
MRI instrumentation consists of a triple-resonance vertical wide-bore Bruker DMX 400 Avance system with microimaging and solids capability, a double-resonance Bruker 7T/30 cm DBX system, and a double-resonance Bruker ABX 1.9T/31 cm Biospec. |
