MRI

The Large Animal Imaging Facility Core provides infrastructure to support translational research activities that bring diagnostic and therapeutic drugs and interventions, investigational new drugs, and investigational device exemption from bench to bedside in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Dr. Berman's research focuses on the coupling between brain structure and function and how abnormal development of the structure-function relationships contribute to the clinical symptoms of disorders such as autism spectrum disorder.

The goal of this study is to increase our understanding of how the brain is affected in infants with and without Down Syndrome

The purpose of this research study is to validate the use of surveys such as fatigue scales, Mitochondrial Disease scales, and quality of life scales.

The purpose of this research study is to test and adapt new techniques for performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI provides pictures of the inside of the body and information about chemicals the body makes.

In this study, we are developing new ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to measure kidney and liver disease severity in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).

Individuals with certain types of beta thalassemia that is treated with regular transfusions and who are up to 50 years old may be able to participate. A number of screening tests will be done to determine if subjects can participate.

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is seeking healthy adolescents and young adults ages 16-22 years old, to participate in the Muscle Accrual in Cystic Fibrosis Research Study.

We want to study brain responses during simulated driving and are currently looking for participants 16-24 years old or those who have had brain surgery.

The purpose of this study is to examine breathing in healthy children ages 6-18 so that we may better understand the changes in function due to growth and the increase in size of the body organs.
