| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our research focused on DWI and q-space imaging (QSI). We shortened the scan time of QSI[1] and also the regular DWI using Simultaneous Multi-Slice technique[2]. We have also worked on post-processing techniques, namely TRACULA for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients[3] and automated segmentation tool [4]. We also did temperature measurements[5-7]. We also used high-resolution T1-weighted images and showed that AD patients tend to have smaller pineal gland [8] and volume loss in precuneous regions[9]. In another research, we have shown that specific regions of the brain are correlated to specific test results [10]. We also conducted a study on serum biomarker [11]. We also participated in a trial of amyloid PET studies [12].
Our research also focuses on machine learning (ML). We worked on developing ML that aids in diagnosis of AD. We first investigated the publications in the past 5 years[13]. We have also made predictions as to how this technique is going to affect us[14].
