Greetings from Erik Shapiro, Associate Chair for Research

Michigan State University Department of Radiology Research

2016-2017 Welcome to the 2017

edition of the Michi-

gan State University

Department of Radi-

ology Resear ch

Newsletter. This

year, the newsletter

focuses on the nu-

merous collaborative

initiatives MSU Radiology leads, supports

and is involved in all through campus. This

includes efforts in biomedical imaging, neu-

roimaging, and metabolic imaging and

spectroscopy.

2016 was a strong year for MSU Radiology.

Traditional NIH grants still provide the bulk

of our external support, placing MSU Radiol-

ogy within the top 50 Radiology Depart-

ments nationally for NIH funding. The mis-

sion of our researchers is to turn these

grant dollars into results and 2016–2017

has been a banner time period for MSU

Radiology research. MSU Radiology deliv-

ered 37 presentations at international con-

ferences. Coupled with the growth in

grant dollars, it is clear that MSU Radiolo-

gy has become an important player in the

biomedical imaging front.

There have been several new hires into

Radiology this year, including Dr. Kurt

Zinn, Dr. Galit Pelled and Dr. Assaf Gilad,

Good luck to our new colleagues and

thank you for sharing this journey with us!

This year, we have been fortunate enough

to work with Whitney McDonald, a journal-

ism major here at MSU on this newsletter.

We thank her for her efforts this summer!

An Imaging Twist in the IQ

lab has expertise in imaging and nano-

materials, but little expertise in molecular

biology and protein engineering.

The Pharmacology and Toxicology De-

partment is also excited to be next door

neighbors with the IQ.

Richard Neubig, the Chair of Pharmacolo-

gy and Toxicology, is excited to see the

bridge between Engineering and Medical

Sciences. Having everything in one build-

ing will bring people together from sev-

eral departments and cause scientific

collisions between people who otherwise

wouldn’t easily connect. The imaging

resources within the IQ, such as advanced

microCT, give an advantage to their pro-

jects including but not limited to cancer

studies, hypertension and stroke.

“The IQ has potential to be a powerful

and synergistic interaction,” Neubig said.

Neubig also thinks that people in the IQ

will ask questions and develop technolo-

gy that will make use of drug discovery

and development facilities he has helped

put together through his work with High

Throughput Screening (HTS).

Mukherji said that the future of imaging

will involve more than radiologists and

physicists. Chemists, molecular biolo-

gists, physiologists and people involved

in nuclear medicine will be using imag-

ing. The IQ will allow us to better create

and target therapy for certain disorders

that we otherwise would never have been

able to treat.

The goal for the IQ is to move healthcare

away from medicine and direct it more

toward health. The use of imaging in the

IQ is likely to expand as the building, labs

and faculty grows.

“The concept of engineering and design-

ing an institute that will change the field

of biomedicine has been one of the most

fun things I’ve done and I can’t wait to see

in five years where we are with this pro-

gram,” said Contag.

The new Institute for Quantitative Health

Science and Engineering (IQ) at Michigan

State University is the latest research hub

on campus.

The IQ is a research collaboration among

the College of Engineering, Human Medi-

cine and Natural Science at Michigan State

University. It is devoted to basic and ap-

plied research at the interface of life scienc-

es, engineering, information sciences and

other physical and mathematical sciences.

One of the main technologies being devel-

oped and used is imaging.

“The IQ is in its very early stages, we are at

the beginning of a really interesting experi-

ment,” said director of the IQ Dr. Chris

Contag. “The experiment is how do you set

up a research institute that drives conver-

gence in science. How do we get biochem-

ists, cell biologists, imaging scientists, neu-

roscientists, people that study metabolic

disease and cancer biologists all working

together towards common goals that will

change the field of medicine.”

Imaging research is being conducted in

labs in the IQ across a spectrum of topics,

from cancer to neuroscience to immunolo-

gy. Dr. Erik Shapiro, an Associate Profes-

sor of Radiology and member of the IQ,

has his laboratory, the Molecular and Cel-

lular Imaging Laboratory within the IQ.

They have an interest in using non-invasive

imaging technology to better understand

what is happening to the liver in diabetes.

This is one of the first investigations into

how MRI can be used to measure trans-

porter changes in the liver in diabetes.

“We have world experts in everything at

MSU the hard part is getting all of those

experts under one roof so they can all

work together, partner and collaborate.

That is part of the concept of the IQ, to re-

cruit the best and bring all of that talent

together at MSU,” Chairman of the MSU

Radiology Department Suresh Mukherji

said.

The IQ is working to develop technologies

in rodents which can eventually translate to

humans. For current IQ and future IQ mem-

bers it adds the missing components to a

project that can take if from bench to bed-

side without having to collaborate outside

of the institution. For example, Shapiro’s

important to assess the injury and mon-

itor it over a period of time to assure

that it is healing.

With brain imaging there are immedi-

ate benefits for the athlete. They are

able to see what damage occurred to

their brain. Zhu’s research involves

follow ups with athletes up to two to

three years after their initial injury. This

allows him to see the extent of the inju-

ry as well as assess any long term dam-

age that resulted from the concussion.

Each year football players in the National

Football League (NFL) experience ~ 250

concussions. In recent years, neurologists,

trainers and the NFL have taken head inju-

ries more seriously. The National Institute of

Health (NIH) and the NFL have collaborated

and the NFL has given millions of dollars

towards concussion research. The goal of

this research is that universities, the NFL,

trainers, researchers and doctors all want to

protect each athlete and their health.

This movement is being seen worldwide

and even at MSU. Dr. David Zhu, a Professor

of Radiology, and Dr. David Kaufman, Chair

of the Department of Neurology, are two of

the faculty conducting research in this area.

MSU athletes have been the subjects of

cognitive research projects on campus.

Drs. Zhu and Kaufman are researching long

term effects of concussions on the brain,

specifically in MSU football players.

MSU is also working with other schools and

experts to compare and use each other’s

findings to further their research and re-

sults. Zhu is involved in the Concussion

Neuroimaging Consortium (CNC) and

works with several Big 10 and Ivy League

schools. The members of the CNC share a

common interest and their collaboration

allows them to compare results of many

more subjects than just a single institution

can provide. They have recently published

a paper following the effects on athletes’

brains after one season of playing football.

They are using imaging to compare the

brain from pre-season to post-season. The

results that the CNC finds are presented at

a Big 10 conference.

One of the most important questions to

answer is when is it safe for a concussed

athlete to return to the field of play. It is


Clinical Research Focus - Dr. Ryan Fajardo Dr. Ryan Fajardo is a radiologist specializ-

ing in musculoskeletal radiology. His re-

search focuses on procedural pain and calf

trauma.

1) We receive referrals for hip injections

based on the perception that it hurts less

when we do the procedure compared to

other facilities in the regional area. An

evaluation of hip pain related to a dedicat-

ed technique for needle advancement,

designed to reduce pain as much as possi-

ble, has not been performed. We found

that our technique resulted in an average

pain score of just less than 2 on a visual

analog scale of 0 to 10, with some statisti-

cally significant differences in pain levels

distributed only by age, with patients in

the youngest quartile reporting slightly

higher pain levels than those older. There

were no differences among operators, re-

gardless of experience or level of training.

2) While it has been previously shown that

plantaris tendon tears are exceptionally

rare, there is no previously published cor-

relation between a plantaris tendon tear and

the formation of a hematoma in its distribu-

tion. Our data, collected in patients sustain-

ing calf trauma and with a hematoma on

MRI, confirm the very low incidence of

plantaris tendon tears and show no associa-

tion between a plantaris tear and a hemato-

ma. Medial gastrocnemius myotendinous

injuries, instead, are the likely etiology for

hematomas adjacent to the plantaris tendon.

right hip showing needle position.

Serial MRI of the brain of a football athlete at Days 1, 7 and 30 following

concussion. The brain ‘functional’ connection was changed, but the

‘structural’ connection remained intact after this football athlete suffered a

concussion. The recovery of functional connectivity reflects brain recovery.

Cognitive Imaging Research Center (CIRC) Collaborations

Dr. Rabindra Ratan, Department of Media and Information Avatars are mediated self-representations, often used in video games and virtual worlds, but increasingly integrated across our broad media landscape. The project focuses on the neural correlates of using avatars. Using fMRI, we are examining how brain function differs under specific conditions of avatar use. Results from this research will inform theoretical foundations upon which avatar-based interventions can be designed to improve a variety of meaningful outcomes, from improving performance in STEM activities to reducing gender disparities in education contexts.

Dr. Taosheng Liu, Department of Psychology Our projects investigate the neural basis of visual attention and decision making. In particular, we study neural circuits involved in directing attention to visual features and objects by examin-ing neural activity patterns during different attention tasks. We also study how simple perceptual decisions are formed in the brain by measuring neural activity and relate it to formal mod-els of decision formation. While we study normal human sub-jects to understand basic neural mechanisms of these cogni-tive functions, we believe that a good understanding of normal functions will ultimately help us in better diagnosis and treat-ment of mental disorders.

Dr. Ralf Schmaelzle , Department of Communication Neural processing of inspirational stories: This study examines the reception of inspirational stories from a neural perspective. While undergoing fMRI scanning, participants listen to selected stories from the popular NPR--sponsored radio series ‘This I believe’. To analyze fMRI recordings, we rely on inter-subject correlation analysis, which assesses the similarity of continu-ous fMRI time series between corresponding brain regions from different receivers. Our goal is to expose collectively shared brain dynamics during the reception of engaging real-world media messages that literally 'get under the skin'.

Dr. Jie Huang, Department of Radiology Visually stressful striped patterns with a spatial frequency (SF) of around 3 cycles per degree (cpd) can induce perceptual illusions/distortions and visual discomfort in most people, headaches in patients with migraine, and seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. Patterns with SF ~0.3 cpd have no such effects and are not uncomfortable to look at (non-stressful). In Dr. Huang’s Lab, resting-state and functional MRI are used to investigate the effects of striped patterns on visual cortical activation and functional connectivity, aiming to under-stand the underlying mechanisms of stressful pattern-induced neurological symptoms.

Below lists a sample of the cutting edge

research collaborations MSU Radiology

is proud to support.

MSU Radiology supports a number of hu-

man research projects, largely centered

around functional MRI or fMRI. This support

is given either through direct collabora-

tions or through the Radiology Pilot Scan

Time program. The core instrumentation of

the CIRC is a state-of-the-art GE 3T Signa®

HDx MR scanner equipped with the latest

hardware and software available on this

platform. Full time research technologists

staff the system providing dedicated ex-

pertise in experimental performance.

Dr. Katy Thakkar, Department of Psychology A subset of the symptoms of schizophrenia can be characterized by a failure in attributing actions to oneself, or a loss of agency. We investigate a potential sensorimotor mechanism thought to support a subjective sense of agency in schizophrenia patients using an eye movement paradigm in combination with fMRI and diffusion-weighted MRI. Non-human primate studies have identi-fied a specific fronto-thalamic pathway involved in conveying these agency-related sensorimotor signals. We are exploring whether there are structural and functional abnormalities in this pathway in schizophrenia patients and whether they are related to clinical symptom severity. Understanding the mechanisms of agency disturbances in schizophrenia can bring us closer to more targeted interventions and lead to specific methods for ear-ly identification.

Dr. David Zhu, Department of Radiology Dr. Zhu has a diverse research portfolio. In addition to MRI re-search on concussion, Dr. Zhu leads the Imaging Core in the NIH-funded R01 multi-center Phase II clinical trial, titled “Exercise and Intensive Vascular Risk Reduction in Preventing Dementia”. This study is testing if aerobic exercise alone or com-bined with reducing blood pressure and cholesterol through in-tensive medical management will reduce the risk of cognitive changes over two years compared to the current standard ap-proach for medical management of blood pressure and choles-terol. In addition, Dr. Zhu researches the effect of hypertension on the brain, using MRI to understand how hypertension affects the structure, function, blood flow, cerebrospinal fluid and pulsa-tion in the brain.

Dr. Soo-Eun Chang, University of Michigan, Department of Psychiatry The Speech Neurophysiology lab researches the neural bases of developmental stuttering, a disorder characterized by frequent disruptions in the flow of speech. Our studies involve analyses of brain functional and structural measures acquired through multi-modal neuroimaging methods such as fMRI, DTI, structural MRI, fNIRS, and EEG. Using these techniques, we are able to exam-ine subtle differences in brain functional and structural connectiv-ity that differentiate people who stutter compared to people who do not stutter. These findings are expected to help us better un-derstand the mechanisms behind stuttering onset, persistence, and recovery and lead to novel treatments for stuttering.

Biomedical Imaging and Nutrition


Michigan State University’s Radiology

Department has several diverse re-

search projects going on simultaneous-

ly. An expanding branch of research

centers on the interface between Dr. Jill

Slade’s laboratory which studies micro-

vascular function, Dr. Joe Carlson’s la-

boratory, Sports & Cardiovascular Nutri-

tion and Spartan Performance.

A main goal for the Department is to

improve health rather than medicine.

Although each study within these labora-

tories is separate, they share common

interests and feed off of each other’s

results.

Sports and Cardiovascular Nutrition is

working on several initiatives helping

people to become aware of their heart

health. One study is called, (S)Partners

for Heart Health. This project started in

2007 and continues to impact 5th grad-

ers on their heart health and physical

activity. Another study is Moving “U”,

this provides grocery lists, holiday diets

and snacking tricks to help with your

brain health, physical health and nutri-

tion to fuel your body.

Slade is focusing on research of micro-

vascular function in aging. She is using

MRI to capture images of muscles in

similar fashion to that of functional

brain imaging, or fMRI. Slade said that

the response seems to be proportional

to microvascular function.

The different research paths going on

in the Radiology Department often

overlap. The similarities and even the

differences enable translation between

labs. Imaging allows each researcher

to look more mechanistically at what is

going on whether it be in the brain,

muscle function of rodents and even

people.

One of Slade’s research projects was an

exercise intervention with a group of

older adults, showing that exercise does

indeed improve microvascular function in a population that she had previously measured.

Slade has experienced overlap in the department through work she has done with Joe

Carlson. He researches how health levels are dependent on food intake, physical activity,

screen time usage, diet and nutrition. They both work on controlling certain factors in a

person’s diet, usually tested through high-fat meals.

This year Slade is looking forward to using PET imaging through her studies of inflamma-

tion. The opportunity to further use imaging on campus is growing, several more labs are

taking it on to develop their studies and even collaborating with other departments.
