NextGen Focus Area: Imaging; Neuroscience (High-Field MRI)

Jullie Pan serves as NextGen’s director of high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a primary emphasis on brain imaging. Focusing on the MAGNETOM Terra 7 Tesla magnetic resonance system, Dr. Pan targets her research on making ultrahigh-field imaging more informative and of higher quality. A primary outcome for this research is to provide better prognostication for patients undergoing treatments for conditions such as brain tumors, mild traumatic brain injuries and epilepsy. 

Precision Health Impact:

  • Achieving the promise of ultrahigh-field MRI: more informative and higher quality.
  • Fast-targeted spectroscopic brain tumor imaging to assist in clinical management decision-making.
  • Better measurements and understanding of abnormal brain networks, which can occur in traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.
