The (National Research Council ) Institute for Biodiagnostics (Atlantic) (NRC-IBDA) is a research laboratory located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, with its headquarters ((Institute for Biodiagnostics) ) located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. NRC-IBD (Atlantic) was established as a satellite lab in 2003〔(Dalhousie University Communications Office )〕 to develop noninvasive medical devices and techniques to increase prospects for prevention, earlier diagnosis, improved treatment and prognosis of diseases.〔(NRC website )〕 NRC-IBD (Atlantic) has three satellite laboratories encompassing . The Neuroimaging Research Laboratory (NRL), located in the QEII Health Sciences Centre, houses a 4-Tesla whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The 4T MRI provides high resolution anatomical, functional and spectroscopic imaging. The NRL also incorporates electroencephalographic (EEG) technology and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allowing for multimodal imaging capability. The Biomedical MRI Research Laboratory (BMRL), located at the IWK Health Centre, has a cellular and molecular imaging program〔(IWK Annual Report )〕 allowing researchers to probe the effectiveness of drug delivery strategies and cellular homing, in the development of therapies for a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders. The Laboratory for Clinical Magnetoencephalography (LCM), also located at the IWK Health Centre, houses a 306-channel Elekta Neuromag MEG system (with 64-channel EEG). The MEG lab advances clinical care for a host of brain diseases, and is particularly well suited to address the fundamental and growing need for medical discoveries that benefit children. ==What it does== At its core, the NRC-IBD (Atlantic) is committed to transferring research and development innovations in neuroscience to the clinical and commercial sectors. These new tools improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain illness, and help Canadian companies capture a larger share of the medical devices market. Clinical translation is achieved through the integration of its three main strengths: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for Biodiagnostics (Atlantic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
