MR Research Division

 
MR Research in Medicine compilation of mr scans
 

Our mission is to explore and investigate all the various aspects of magnetic resonance research in medicine. We serve as a research resource for members of the Department of Radiology, the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the community. We invite and encourage research innovation, as well as collaboration at the local, national and international level, and work to provide state-of-the-art technology to researchers and clinicians.

The division’s focus is the development of novel MR methods and their application in biomedicine.

About the Director Paul A. Bottomley, Ph.D.

paul bottomley headshot
Dr. Bottomley’s research focuses on the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to biophysical, biological and medical problems. He pursues the theoretical, experimental and technical development of NMR imaging (MRI); the development of methods for spatially localized spectroscopy (MRS) and the measurement of relaxation times, diffusion constants, metabolite concentrations, kinetic reaction rates, energy supply and work in biological tissues using NMR. He’s also interested in the application of these technologies to the noninvasive study of human disease, especially heart disease.
