Summary (2-4 sentences)<br>Just a few informal sentences describing what you want to present.<br>No need to spend a lot of time on this! You can change it later.
Noninvasive measurement of lung airway microstructural dimensions can elucidate disease processes affecting gas exchange. An existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphometry technique uses diffusion weighting imaging (DWI) with hyperpolarized helium gas contrast to measure the acinar airway in emphysema and in other pathologies. Morphometric techniques depend on Monte Carlo calculations which simulate gas behavior within lung microstructures. I discuss our implementation of random walk Monte Carlo on CHTC to make such measurements.
Availability of the Speaker<br>Let us know if there are times you CANNOT present,<br>prehaps because you need to leave for the airport early, etc.
I don't have unavoidable conflicts, but I would strongly prefer a morning session.
