MR imaging is based on th e principle of nuclear magnetic resonance and provides images with high ti ssue contrast. There are four basic components of this technology: (1) a m agnet that can apply a high and uniform magnetic field to the entire body\ ; (2) a gradient coil that perturbs the magnetic field as a function of ti me and position\; (3) a coil that provides radio-frequency power to the en tire body\, and (4) the receivers that receive the very weak echo signal f rom the body. In my research group\, we are working on last three componen ts of this device. In my presentation\, I will briefly go over the technol ogies that we are working in collaboration with the investigators at ASELS AN.\n\nBio: Dr. Ergin Atalar has received BS degree from Boğaziçi Univer sity\, MS degree from Middle East Technical University and PhD degree from Bilkent University\, all from the Electrical and Electronics Engineering departments of these schools. He joined the Johns Hopkins University in 19 91 as postdoctoral fellow and became a professor of Radiology\, Biomedical Engineering\, Electrical and Electronics Departments before his departure to Bilkent. He is the founder of the National Magnetic Resonance Research (UMRAM) and Aysel Sabuncu Brain Research Centers. Dr. Atalar co-founded M RI Interventions Inc and Troyka Med. He published over 100 publications in peer reviewed journals and 46 US patents. According to ISI web of knowled ge 2017 data\, his publications received over 4000 and his h-index is 36. He received TUBITAK Science Award. He is fellow of ISMRM and National Acad emy of Inventors and member of “Bilim Akademisi” and Academia Europaea .\n\nCo-sponsored by: URSI-TR\n\nAnkara\, Ankara\, Türkiye LOCATION:Ankara\, Ankara\, Türkiye ORGANIZER:ozergul@metu.edu.tr SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:[Legacy Report] IEEE AP/MTT/EMC/ED TURKEY CHAPTER SEMINAR SERIES -- SEMINAR 20 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/155399 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Speaker: Prof. Ergin Atalar\, Bilkent Univ ersity</p>\n<p>Topic: "Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologies"</p>\n<p>Lo cation:&nbsp\;Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey</p>\n<p>< em>Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technology\, which was introd uced more than 40 years ago\, plays an important role in the diagnosis of many diseases today.
