Rowland Redington Memorial Lecture

Red Redington

This annual lecture honors Rowland (Red) Redington from GE, for his critical role in developing MR and CT imaging. An expert in imaging is invited to present a topic of interest to the imaging community. See below for the upcoming 2013 speaker, and our speakers from the past few years:

Weekly journal club / seminar series - Room 162, Bryan Research Building

Wednesdays 12:00-1:00 PM—bring your lunch to join us. Our graduate students lead the discussions, but faculty, visitors to our lab, and researchers from other University departments also provide special seminars. Open to all who are interested. See contact information above to get on our reminder mailing list.

Special training sessions

Collaborators and visitors often spend a few days with our staff to learn such things as our small animal handling and monitoring techniques, how to operate the MR imaging systems, how to build RF coils, and how to use our image processing and advanced visualization tools. Let us know how we can help you.

Participation of faculty in graduate-level courses

Some of our faculty have joint appointments in Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, and Medical Physics and participate in graduate-level courses, providing imaging lectures or hands-on sessions. Our graduate students are also called upon as Teaching Assistants. Look for our periodic participation in courses such as these:

Biomedical Engineering (BME) Medical Imaging Program: - BME 233: Diagnostic Imaging Systems - BME 334: Radiology in Practice / Medical Physics 338

Medical Physics - list of courses, with these that include our participation - MP 331: Advanced Medical Imaging Physics - MP 370: Frontiers of Biomedical Science - MP 251: Seminars in Medical Physics

Graduate students

The highlight of our training activities is our graduate training program, with PhD students from Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, and the MD/PhD Medical Scientist Training program (MSTP). See our staff listing to link to information about our students from BME (including 1 MSTP student) and Medical Physics.
