THE SPINOZA CENTRE FOR NEUROIMAGING IS THE AMSTERDAM IMAGING CORE FOR 3T AND 7T MRI

• Case Bertil Blok

  7T MRI to study functional urological disorders

  In some functional urological disorders, for instance in overactive bladder, patients experience a desire to void that does not correlate with their degree of bladder filling. Therefore, Dennis Frings and Bertil Blok study pathology in afferent sensory information during bladder filling.
• Research Methods

  Methods

  MRI experiments provide the researcher with an impossible amount of data. In order to distill meaningful information a progressive series of reduction methods are applied to filter out the desired parameters (and ignore others).

• Participate in research

  We investigate the ways in which we reach decisions, what happens when we are sleeping, or how the brain changes with aging. We are looking for people who are willing to undergo MRI sessions to help us in our research.
