Researchers from UCSF’s Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging were recently awarded a $3.93 million Translational Team Science Award from the Department of Defense. This team project is led by Yan Li, PhD, associate professor, Janine Lupo, PhD, professor, and Eugene Ozhinsky, PhD, assistant professor of the VA Advanced Imaging Research Center (VAARC) in collaboration with doctors from the UCSF Department of Neurosurgery.
The purpose of the grant is to create new, artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches that will enable direct translation of non-invasive metabolic MR imaging methods (MR spectroscopic imaging) into clinical practice. The award will support the research team to develop these tools for evaluating tumor metabolism in patients with glioma, a type of brain tumor, with three specific aims.
The first aim will develop strategies for rapidly scanning…
