Thank you for including me on the mail list: let me introduce myself and the
equipment I have access to at UT-Southwestern:

400 MHz (9.4 T) CSI Omega widebore instrument with micro-imaging accessory

CSI 4.7 T 40 cm large animal system with Acustar gradients

Older equipment 7.4 T vertical bore magnet (originally Nicolet, now under
Tecmag control)

Bruker MSL systems-formerly at Mobil oil.

These instruments are all part of the Rogers Biomedical MR Center.

My particular research interests include non-invasive physiology based on
19F NMR spectroscopy and imaging: in particular oximetry based on
relaxometry of perfluorocarbons in tumors and the heart. Also development of
novel 19F pH indicators.We have also optimized DQCT methods for detecting
glutathione and citrate in tissue.

Please contact me for any further dretails.
