Program Objective

This one day program is aimed at physicians, biomedical scientist, and graduate students who are interested in the application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to physiology.  The role of NMR methods of the investigation of intact organ physiology with particular emphasis on brain and muscle physiology will be discussed.

An overview of current problems pathophysiology will be given by experts in the field and applications of state of the art NMR techniques will be presented.
