Recent News:

The John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) at the University of Hawaii has attracted a record number of major grants in 2004 to help drive its goal of becoming a major research medical school. In conjunction with Queens Medical Center, the school has established a cutting-edge and growing MRI research program, the central mission of which is to find health solutions for Hawaii and the rest of the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hawaii has its only research-dedicated high field Magnetic Resonance Imaging System (3T-MRI).  Researchers at the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine and the Queen’s Medical Center, Linda Chang, M.D., Thomas Ernst, Ph.D. and others are utilizing a 3-Tesla MRI scanner, located at the Queen’s Medical Center, to conduct NIH-funded research:  

   •  Brain Activation in Patients with Early HIV Dementia

   •  Early Brain Development after Prenatal “Ice”
       Exposure: A Longitudinal MR Study

   •  RGR-based Motion Tracking for Real-Time Adaptive
       MR Imaging and Spectroscopy

   •  Imaging Studies in Neurotoxicity &
       Neurodevelopment

   •  Parallel MRI for High Field Neuroimaging

We would also like to thank our funding sources here for their continued support.
