Dr Bongers is a Facility Fellow who manages the flagship pre-clinical 9.4T MRI that is hosted by the Biomedical Resources & Imaging Laboratory (BRIL), University of New South Wales. Having obtained his PhD in 2004 in the field of Oxygen Level Dependent MRI, he brings 13+ years of experience in MRI methodology and application development into BRIL and NIF. With an impressive professional profile in both industry and academia, Andre focuses his research on the development of novel MRI methods for physiological and metabolic imaging in pre-clinical and clinical research. His current fields of interest include diffusion imaging using oscillating gradients, quantitative susceptibility mapping and chemical exchange transfer imaging and spectroscopy.
The scans at NeuRA Imaging, the UNSW Node of the National Imaging Facility, revealed decreased conductivity in several white-matter areas of the brain, plus increased levels of chemicals indicating br
