Dr. Aviv Mezer of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem stayed with us for a few days for a joint research project. In his lecture, he introduced his recent research, ranging from the basics of MRI measurement to its applications, in which quantitative and semi-quantitative MRI metrics are used to measure the basal ganglia microstructure and investigate structural changes caused by Parkinson's disease. The seminar was a lively one, with questions and answers throughout. Thank you very much for visiting us!
