<\/p>\n
Date:<\/strong> February 13, 2020 Title:<\/u><\/b>\u00a0 Where physics meets medicine: non-invasive assessment of tumor therapeutic response using cell size MR imaging<\/p>\n Abstract:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Biological tissue microstructural information (e.g. cell density, cell size, etc.) plays an important role in the diagnosis of various diseases and guiding therapeutic decisions.\u00a0 Currently, such information can only be obtained via destructive biopsy, which is well-known to suffer major clinical complications.\u00a0 Based on the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) that provides a unique means to probe tissue microstructure by detecting the degree of restriction and\/or hindrance of water molecules in tissues, we have developed advanced DWI methods to provide quantitative information on tumor microstructure such as cell size and density non-invasively. This cell size MRI technique enables an earlier and more specific assessment of tumor therapeutic response.<\/p>\n Short Bio:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Junzhong Xu, PhD., obtained his PhD in MRI Physics from ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù and joined the faculty as a research instructor, research assistant professor and assistant professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences of ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù Medical Center and is currently a member of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. His primary research interests focus on the development, implementation, and evaluation of advanced magnetic resonance imaging methods in various diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. His specific research projects include mathematical modeling, computer simulation, pre-clinical development and validation, and clinical application, thereby spanning the gamut of MR imaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" VISE Spring Seminar to be led by Junzhong Xu, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, VUIIS, VUMC Date: February 13, 2020 Location:\u00a0Stevenson Center 5326, Time:\u00a012:15 p.m. lunch, with a 12:25 p.m. start Title:\u00a0 Where physics meets medicine: non-invasive assessment of tumor therapeutic response using cell size MR imaging Abstract:\u00a0 Biological tissue microstructural information…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":670,"featured_media":7974,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[535,231,67,72,30,234,110],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2020\/01\/19170734\/JUNZHONGxu.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p98pzF-24B","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/670"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7973"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7980,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7973\/revisions\/7980"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
