Breakthroughs in Imaging Neurovascular Diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis: Technical Aspects, Clinical Ramifications, and Understanding the Etiology of the Disease. Presented by Dr. E. Mark Haacke.

ABSTRACT

Magnetic Resonance Imaging has long been an important diagnostic tool for Multiple Sclerosis. Recent developments linking MS to venous malformations have highlighted the use of advanced techniques for imaging iron deposits and blood flow. We introduce here a number of new technical image acquisition and image processing concepts whose application may well extend into other diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Finally, the development and data mining of worldwide data in specific diseases will also be discussed.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. Mark Haacke is a world renown MRI researcher at Wayne State University. He won the Gold Medal in Kyoto in 2004 for his work on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging and Education. He is the past president of two MRI societies and has just formed "The International Society for Neurovascular Disease". For the last 30 years, Dr. Haacke has focused on the physics and mathematics associated with the technical development of new imaging methods and their clinical applications.

Really, fucking google class it up, you own the world already, might as well invest in a nice camera.

[theNewCodingFrontier]

google tech talks should try to shoot for a better camera...at least the mic isn't that bad.

[ninjaquest]

They need to get a microphone for the people asking questions...

@MrBrianduquette This video wasn't about bones ;-)

[MrBrianduquette]

@westonp80 The knee bones connected to what bone??????????

How do vascular malformations cause neurodegenerative disease, especially MS??? I understood the initial part about lesions having high iron content and being able to look at the venus side by looking at iron in the the deoxyhemoglobin and correlating this to perfusion, but the only reason this guy seems to be interested in iron is because it is an element that he can use to look at the vessels--not because it is causing neuro demylenation or the lesions themselves. What am I missing here?

@vaaheeed You got that right! Placebo works better than the crap DMDs. Vacular conditions are not auto-immune but a repairable with angioplasty. Those drugs cannot clear a non-neurological issue. So our bodies are fighting these poisons and not knowing what to do with it. The reflux of the blood creates dirty blood going back to the brain. Which in turn causes iron deposits through our nervous system. If not corrected THEN MS symptoms starts. That is when these MS nureos get greedy!

Soo in conclusion all these injections that we do everyday or every other day doesn't change the direction or open up any blockage in any veins.

so simply we all waisting our time and money for nothing.

@kphzorz hahahahah what did you said? i was laughing too much on your comments.
