Brain Ageing

Brain Ageing Research

Research

We are involved in studies of the ageing brain using advanced imaging methodology. These studies include a range of clinical conditions associated with brain ageing.

The wealth of possible new information is tempered by the challenges posed by cardiac and respiratory motion and practical and timely data acquisition.

The Centre’s remit to develop new magnetic resonance techniques in collaboration with clinical researchers and commercial partners has led to the development of specialist expertise in the measurement of myocardial energetics with 31-phosphate magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Functional assessment with cardiac tagging techniques and more recently four dimensional flow imaging have also created an exciting opportunity to gain novel insights into cardiovascular pathophysiology.
