MRI SCANNING AND COVID-19 PROCEDURES

The Center for Functional and Molecular Imaging (CFMI) has always placed an
emphasis on safety. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed a
number of new procedures to ensure the safety of both participants and our
staff. This includes thorough cleaning and disinfecting everything that touches
the participants head, 15 min breaks between scans, and use of a powerful fan to
provide over 17 air exchanges per hour in the scanner room, which is greater
than the 15 air exchanges per hour required for hospital operating rooms. In
addition, all CFMI staff are fully vaccinated and tested for COVID-19 once a
month and complete a daily health screening form.

ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT STUDY (ADS)

The Adolescent Development Study is a study of the predictors and consequences
of adolescent substance use. Three full waves of data have been completed and a
fourth wave is nearing completion. A number of neuroimaging techniques are being
combined with genetics and an array of neuropsychological and social assessments
to obtain as complete of picture as possible of the factors that lead to
substance use initiation and escalation.

COMMUNITY LIFE AND ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT STUDY (CLAD)

The Community Life and Adolescent Development Study is an extension of ADS that
is investigating the relationship between community health, the maturation of
young people’s brains and future life outcomes, specifically in the context of
experiences with violence in schools and communities. This study is being led by
Shady El Damaty, a graduate student in the Interdisciplinary Program in
Neuroscience PhD program in John VanMeter's lab (CFMI).

GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SOCIAL ADVERSITY AND VIOLENCE EXPOSURE

This study investigates the interaction of gender, social adversity and violence
exposure with respect to socio-emotional processing. Environmentally-evoked
affective (i.e., emotional) states are powerful indicators of the impact of
social adversity and stress on an individual and may help dissociate sex
differences in cognitive-emotional development during adolescence into
adulthood. Variations in affective response to stimuli with emotional content
has been found based on recent exposure to social trauma and/or ongoing
adversity. We are using a novel affective film-viewing fMRI task to explore
these relationships. This study is building on both the ADS and CLAD studies.
This study is being led by Mary Fesalbon and Masha Stoianova, postbaccalaureates
in CFMI and was funded by the Gender+ Justice Initiative.

CENTER FOR FUNCTIONAL AND MOLECULAR IMAGING



The Center for Functional and Molecular Imaging at Georgetown University Medical
Center has substantial expertise in structural, functional and brain imaging. We
combine brain imaging with behavioral methods to explore the neural mechanisms
of emotion, thought, feeling, movement and perception.

Our lab provides Georgetown and wider DC neuroimaging community access to a top
of the line 3.0T Prisma-Fit MRI scanner, high-density EEG, and Near-Infrared
Spectroscopy imaging (NIRS).


NEXT MRI SAFETY TRAINING IS ON 05/04/21.
