Current Density Imaging (CDI)

Posters and Preprints

These are a collection of pdf files of posters , abstracts and thesis documents that the CDI group at the Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering (IBBME) of the University of Toronto have presented since 1998.  The source files for these posters are available as well from Professor Mike Joy.

Current Density Imaging is a technique our group has developed which allows images of Current Density to be made using a Magnetic Resonance Imager.  Relevant reference material is in the following published papers.  In Prior to publication, preprints are available in PDF format as well.
