Title: Diffusion Tensor MR Imaging of the Spinal Cord
Dr. Mohamed is currently the Director of the Jefferson Integrated Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center
(JIMRIC) and Professor of Radiology and Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Jefferson University. During
the last two decades, he has been working on developing quantitative functional neuroimaging
biomarkers to study the brain and the spinal cord (SC). Specifically, in the last several
years he has been researching on a developing diffusion imaging methods to study the SC in
children. In his lab he has been testing new methods to accurately measure the diffusion parameters
in the SCI using novel pulse sequences such as inner-FOV DTI, to improve its reliability and
repeatability.
About JIMRIC Jefferson
Integrated Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center (JIMRIC) currently provides clinical and research
support to the Hospital and University Enterprise at TJU. We currently make it available to the
neuroscience community to apply advanced neuroimaging techniques and obtain structural and
functional images to study diseases such as tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Autism, and spinal cord
injury to name a few. The center also provides support to Brind Marcus center for integrative
health to study brain health. JIMRIC currently trains doctoral and post-doctoral students in
engineering and physics, fellow and residents from Radiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, medical
students from TJU, and bioengineering students from Temple and Villanova Universities.
