Research Interest

Dr. Mallikarjunarao Kasam research interest includes innovative methodology developments of MRI, MRA, MRV, CT, MRSI, CTP, DTI and fMRI for ischemic stroke, Hemorrhagic stroke and other neurodegenerative diseases/biomarker applications; Volumetric analysis for the regions of ischemic, hematoma and peri-hematomal edema regions in both AIS and ICH strokes; Development of new methodologies for the detection of vasculature abnormalities and for the development of database for NEURO (AIS and ICH), body (PAD and renal arteries) and cardiac applications. Non-invasive estimation of microglia activity through MRI/MRA/MRV in the above pathological tissues;The study of CST damage, and clinical / functional scale correlation etc. after ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Mapping of different metabolites for the normal subjects and subjects with Ischemic stroke, Intracerebral Hemorrhage; Developing novel, multinuclear (23Na, 17O, 13C, F19 and 1H) MRI, MRS applications magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopic techniques for early diagnosis and quantification of physiological and functional parameters in pathologies such as ischemic stroke and ICH stroke.
