Full Speed MRI
Tue, Sep 17, 2013 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. James Pipe, Barrow Neurological Institue, Phoenix, AZ
Talk Title: Full Speed MRI
Series: Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Abstract: The cost of clinical MR scans worldwide is estimated to be 10's of billions of dollars each year, in part because of the length of MR exams. While the duration of each MR scan varies widely across countries and even within the US, current clinical MRI scans take perhaps 30-45 minutes, of which perhaps 50% is used for actual scanning. Much of this scanning is done using methods which, despite their inefficiencies, are used due to their robustness. Our lab is attempting to create a high-quality neuro exam (same number of scans, same contrast, with high SNR and high resolution) in 5 minutes of total scan time, with a goal of achieving 10 minute exam times.
Biography: > Dr. Pipe received his PhD in bioengineering from the University of Michigan in 1993. After serving on the faculty of the Department of Radiology at Wayne State University, he joined Barrow Neurological Institute in 1999, where he now serves as the Director of Neuroimaging Research. He is a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), and served on the ISMRM Board of Trustees and chaired their 20th Annual meeting in Melbourne, Australia in 2012. He is also currently the vice president-elect for ISMRM.
>
> Dr. Pipe's research focuses on developing next-generation methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that have a significant, positive impact on patient care. He invented the first commercial method for MRI specifically designed to eliminate the blurring of images caused by patients moving their head during an MRI scan. This method is now sold on almost all commercial scanners. He also works on methods to improve imaging of brain structures, function, and connectivity as well as on methods for measuring blood flow. He continues to help establish the mathematical underpinnings of innovative MRI techniques intended to reduce scan times while increasing the information available to physicians.

Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Andrea Armani, USC
Talk Title: Choosing a School/Advisor
Abstract: Unlike choosing a school for undergraduate where the school ranking can be a significant factor, for graduate school, the research topic and advisor should be the primary consideration. This is followed by other factors including school ranking. We will discuss how to determine which areas of research interest you and how to find professors in those areas.
Upcoming lectures in series:
Writing a Personal Statement /Preparing a CV: 9/24
Fellowship applications: 10/1

Google Information Session
Tue, Sep 17, 2013 @ 05:30 PM - 07:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
A Tech Talk about Ingress by the game's Product Manager. Information on Google's opportunities and application process, in addition to lots of food & swag to be provided. Following the talk, there will be a special USC Ingress game hosted.
Ingress is a massively multiplayer geo game that was recently launched by Google's Niantic Labs. Players move through the real world using an Android device and the Ingress app to discover and tap sources of a mysterious energy. Players acquire objects to aid in their quest, deploy tech to capture territory, and ally with other field agents to advance the cause of the Enlightened or the Resistance in an epic struggle for the fate of humanity.
Brandon Badger is the Product Manager for Ingress. He's been a Product Manager on Google Maps, Google Books, YouTube, and Niantic Labs. He'll be talking about Google's latest efforts to create "adventures on foot" using Android and Google's Geo data. The discussion will focus on the the game design principles and techniques used to create Ingress, as well as opportunities to use emerging technologies to create new types of mobile gaming experiences.
Stay after the talk to play a special USC Ingress game - full details at the talk. Help us understand how many people will attend this event, please RSVP at goo.gl/s97fUA
