Speaker: Prof. Ergin Atalar, Bilkent University

Topic: "Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologies"

Location: Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technology, which was introduced more than 40 years ago, plays an important role in the diagnosis of many diseases today. MR imaging is based on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance and provides images with high tissue contrast.  There are four basic components of this technology: (1) a magnet 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 time and position; (3) a coil that provides radio-frequency power to the entire body, and (4) the receivers that receive the very weak echo signal from the body. In my research group, we are working on last three components of this device. In my presentation, I will briefly go over the technologies that we are working in collaboration with the investigators at ASELSAN.
