About Weili Lin:

The main thrust of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lab in the Department of Radiology is to develop novel MR imaging methods for obtaining quantitative measurements of cerebral hemodynamics as well as oxygen metabolism. Specifically, we have been focusing on the alterations of cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism associated with cerebrovascular disease via both animal models and patient studies. In addition, the utilization of MR imaging methods to investigate how the brain works (functional MRI) in both normal volunteers as well as patients is also focused.
