ISMRM Magna Cum Laude Merit Award

Postdoc Cihan Göksu receives the award for his abstract on Human In-vivo Brain MR Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) based on Steady-state Free precession free induction decay (SSFP-FID) (#7597).  

The Magna Cum Laude award is given to trainee members of International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), whose abstracts score in the top 15% within a major subject review category at the annual ISMRM conference. The score is independent of whether the abstract gets a talk or poster. In this case, Cihan was invited to do a power pitch.

MRCDI is a novel non-invasive measurement technique for measuring weak currents in the human head, which is important in several neuroscience applications. Göksu et al are the first in the world to present a robust and reliable mapping of nT field changes in the human brain, created by injected mA currents in vivo. In his abstract and power pitch, Cihan presents how an unprecedented accuracy was achieved, and what this means for neuroscience applications. The study was carried out with colleagues from DTU, Hvidovre Hospital and University of Tübingen.
