The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of five Swiss university hospitals. Through its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and the EPFL, CHUV plays a leading role in the areas of medical care, medical research and training.
This multi-disciplinary project is a collaboration between Drs. Cristina Cudalbu (EPFL), Olivier Braissant (CHUV), Stéphane Sizonenko (HUG) and Ileana Jelescu (CHUV).
Non-invasive methods to advance our understanding of brain metabolism and microstructure concomitantly would be instrumental in characterizing brain physiological and pathological processes. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) combined with tissue biophysical modeling provides information about microstructure non-invasively. In addition, diffusion of brain metabolites measured by MR spectroscopic imaging (dMRSI) provides cell type-specific microstructure information exploiting metabolite localization within neurons or glia.
