【ねらいと概要（Aims & Scope）】
Imaging of neuroanatomy and function by MRI continues to play a critical role in understanding the human brain. Yet many technical aspects of current MRI technology and methodology significantly limit the diversity of information that it can provide due to confined space in the magnet bore, large physical size of the magnet, lack of portability, and infrastructure requirements such as helium supply. Drawbacks of current MRI technology for neuroimaging are multifold. The need to image the brain inside a whole-body magnet restricts broad use for studying populations engaged in real world activities. We are making good progress toward demonstrating the feasibility of our new portable MRI system by including sparse modeling for image reconstruction. We are well on our way to demonstrating the feasibility of a portable (360kg) off-the-grid, 1.5T MRI system for imaging the human brain.
