The main clinical focus of the research group encompasses non-invasive imaging-based methods (in combination with neurophysiology) to determine the epileptic zone in candidates for resective surgery, the clinical application of imaging techniques to estimate the tissue at risk in patients with ischemic stroke (using MRI and near-infrared spectroscopy), to determine the volume and composition of brain tumor tissue in patients with brain tumors (using perfusion MRI and MR-Spectroscopy) and to develop novel MR-based methodologies to quantify macromolecule compositions in progressive neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Chorea Huntington). In addition, the SCAN performs clinical neuroimaging, especially functional MRI studies in cooperation with our clinical partners and the research groups of the University Bern.
