Diagnosis and Treatment of Birth Asphyxia Using Hypothermia

The subject of this research is a collaborative scientific and clinical project that will lead to a novel method for in-vivo regional tissue temperature measurement that will have application for monitoring the efficacy and safety of a new therapeutic intervention. We are fortunate at UCL to have 2 research-dedicated MR spectrometers (Bruker Avance, 2.4 Tesla magnet/ 40 cm bore; 7.0 Tesla magnet/20 cm bore) on which the proposed studies may be performed. The Medical Physics and Bioengineering Department also has a powerful Sun/PC based computer network and good workshop facilities, both of which are essential for this project. In addition, we have a close collaboration with clinicians who are eager to utilise the benefits of the research in their neonatal infant studies. The group has many years experience of in-vivo proton spectroscopy, quantitative spectral analysis and quantitative MRI, which will all be used to perform the proposed work.
