Clinical MR Neuroimaging

Jonathan Gillard's research interests have centred on MR angiographic techniques. He is an author of over 50 peer reviewed publications and a journal reviewer for many publications. Adam Waldman's main research interests are in clinical psychological imaging of neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumours. He has published widely and contributed to several textbooks. Peter Barker has focussed his research career on the development of magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques for the study of human brain metabolism and diagnosis of neurological disease. He is an author of over 100 peer reviewed publications, and a frequent journal reviewer.
