Program Summary
The Quantum Orbital Resonance Spectroscopy (QORS) program will lay the scientific foundation for novel neurodiagnostic capabilities by combining recent advances in quantum photonics with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (MRI/MRS). QORS seeks to measure changes in neurochemical concentrations—seen in a range of neurological conditions injuries—without the large, super-conducting magnet used in traditional MRI and MRS, thus leading to the development of a noninvasive, compact neurodiagnostic for assessing traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
