Narayana, Ph.D., DABR is a Professor of Radiology and the Director of
Magnetic Resonance Research at The University of Texas Health Science
Center at Houston. He also holds adjunct appointments at Texas Center
for Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas-Houston Graduate School
of Biomedical Sciences, and Electrical and Computer Engineering Department
at University of Houston. He is member of the NIH Study Section (BDCN5).
He serves on the Editorial Board of Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
and is a reviewer for a number of major neuroscience journals. Dr. Narayana's
major research interests include Quantitative Magnetic Resonance of Central
Nervous System, Development of Advanced Magnetic Resonance Techniques,
and Image Processing with an emphasis on automatic analysis. Dr. Narayana's
laboratory is involved in both animal and human studies. He is currently
funded by NIH to investigate cortical plasticity in experimental spinal
cord injury using functional MRI and characterization of Multiple Sclerosis
brain using advanced Magnetic Resonance and Image Processing techniques.
He has authored/coauthored more than 130 publications in peer-reviewed
journals and numerous book chapters. He is a diplomate of the American
Board of Radiology in Radiological Physics. |

Dr. Barron's focus is detection and therapy of cancer, using PET scans and radioimmunotherapy. He is also interested in pediatric nuclear medicine and infection imaging. In addition to the above, he also has a strong interest in brain SPECT imaging in epilepsy and psychiatric disease. Dr. Barron is also involved in numerous clinical trials of radioimmunotherapy and the use of PET imaging to follow the response of tumors to chemotherapy. | |||
