Association of Managers of Magnetic Resonance LaboratoriesThe
AMMRL is a group of individuals who are responsible for the
operation of laboratories and instrumentation for magnetic
resonance spectroscopy, including nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). Our main goal is to assist one another
in providing the best resources possible for research and
applications using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, through
exchange of information and experience. AMMRL has no formal
organizational structure, providing instead an informal means
for like-minded individuals to find one other and explore issues
of mutual importance. Asteering
committeeis responsible for the operation of the group.
Our primary means of interaction are by email, and in a session
held at the annual Experimental NMR Conference (ENC). A directory listing of
members, including information about instruments owned, also
contributes to maintaining this community.

BioMagResBankBMRB's mission is to collect, archive, and
disseminate (worldwide in the public domain) the important
quantitative data derived from NMR spectroscopic investigations
of biological macromolecules. Relevant data are deposited by the
scientists who generate them, and in consultation with these
scientists, BMRB resolves any problems with the self-consistency
and completeness of the deposition. In collaboration with the
Protein Data Bank, BMRB provides links between the spectral data
and associated atomic coordinates. BMRB works with the user
community to develop formats for these data that can be parsed
by computers and used for knowledge generation, alone and in
conjunction with information from other databases. BMRB's goal
is to empower scientists in their analysis of the structure,
dynamics, and chemistry of biological systems and to support
further development of the field of biomolecular NMR
spectroscopy. Through international collaborations and mirror
sites, BMRB endeavors to involve the participation of a wider
group of scientists and to enhance its services worldwide.

Computational Staining of Magnetic Resonance Brain Images,
Caltech Computer Graphics GroupThis
page illustrates a small set of techniques for display of
magnetic resonance brain images. MRI produces images from within
physical objects, with each point in the image consisting of a
scalar or vector value. Most of the computational staining work
shown here starts from ray MRI scalar or vector data, processes
it to produce new vector data, with each element of the vector
weighting a color added in to the final output image

Introduction to
MRI Welcome to the exciting world of MRI! This is a
tutorial that will cover the basic aspects of MRI.
Journal of Magnetic ResonanceThe Journal of Magnetic Resonance
presents original papers in the fields of nuclear magnetic
resonance, electron spin resonance, and nuclear quadrupole
resonance spectroscopy, as well as in related experimental
techniques. The subjects covered include the principles
underlying these methods; significant experimental results,
especially those leading to spectral correlations likely to be
of general interest to scientists in these areas; and
descriptions of apparatus, experimental techniques, procedures
of spectral analysis and interpretation, and computational
methods. The unified format as of 1997 integrates methods,
data, and substances of interest to those working with systems
of biological or biochemical significance. Together with the
results of studies of structure, dynamics, and interactions of
biomolecules, as well as analyses comparing results from
magnetic resonance methods with those deduced from other
techniques, the journal also publishes papers on in vivo imaging
methods and localized spectroscopy
Magnetic Resonance Centre, University of NottinghamThisgroupdevelops techniques and hardware for MRI and Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy (MRS), particularly echo-planar imaging (EPI). It
also works on the applications of these techniques, particularly
in neuroscience. Most of the group are based in the Sir Peter
Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre (SPMMRC), which is an annex
of the main Physics building.
MR
Angiography The protocols presented here
are our current practice. They were developed on the basis of 10
years experience with thousands of body MR Angiography cases. We
are constantly refining and updating these protocols as magnets
are updated and new pulse sequences become available. We hope
that you find these protocols to be useful. We would appreciate
hearing about any problems, insights or suggestions that you may
have.
MRI
Contrast Agents Although MRI was initially
hoped to provide a means of making definitive diagnoses non
invasively, we have found that the addition of contrast agents
in many cases improves our sensitivity and/or specificity. Paul
Lauterbur and his associated were the first to demonstrate the
feasibility of using paramagnetic contrast agents to improve
tissue discrimination in MRI. I have somewhat arbitrarily
grouped this topic into the subjects listed below. If you would
like to review the differences between diamagnetic,
paramagnetic, super paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic; look over
the magnetism section

NMR Center, Massachusetts General Hospital History:
In 1999 Thanassis and
Marina Martinos of Athens, Greece presented a gift of $20M to
the Harvard-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Division of
Health Sciences & Technology (HST) to honor the memory of
their daughter Athinoula. The purpose of the gift was the
establishment of a biomedical imaging center dedicated to
fostering research that would span disciplines from the basic
biosciences to clinical investigation to the development and
medical application of new technologies. HST invited the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to participate in
founding the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical
Imaging, and a partnership was formed. This partnership united
the clinical and imaging expertise and extensive imaging
facilities of the existing MGH Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Center with HST's strengths in engineering and basic
neuroscience and the resources represented by the Martinos
family gift. Hence, the Martinos Center was launched in 2000
under the Directorship of Bruce R. Rosen, MD, PhD, with a
faculty of approximately forty investigators and over $23
million in existing biomedical imaging equipment. The Center is
located on the MGH research campus in the Charlestown Navy Yard
with a satellite facility on the MIT campus.
