Career Profile:
Professor Galloway is Group Leader of the MR Imaging Group. His research interests include the use of in vivo Magnetic Resonance to investigate the action of and test the efficacy of pharmaceutical agents, novel applications for the use of Magnetic Resonance in physiological studies and material sciences, and in pushing the boundaries of the technology into new applications, and higher field strength. The use of MR in pharmaceutical research has been productive, with significant findings in the use of a new therapy for diabetes, the development of a model for the aging brain and the development of methodology for investigating cardiac function. Prof Galloway has also had involvement in projects using MR to investigate water movement into concrete, the mechanics of the knee and monitoring of knee injuries and the assessment of training protocols for improving athletic endurance and stamina.

In 2000, Prof Galloway obtained a Vice-Chancellor's Strategic Initiative Grant and developed the Magnetic Resonance Technology Postgraduate teaching programs, of which he is the Program Coordinator. The MRT teaching program is a suite of postgraduate courses in magnetic resonance technology, delivered nationally and internationally by flexible delivery, and offered internally for the first time in 2006.

Research Interests:
» Design and implementation of new pulse sequences and applications for
   magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
» Development of clinical magnetic resonance using nuclei other than protons
» Development of ultra-high field clinical magnetic resonance technology at
   4Tesla and above
» Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the musculo-skeletal system, both for under-
   understanding of normal function, and of diseases processes such as
   osteoarthritis
» Magnetic resonance as a tool to study drug efficacy in neurology, cardiology
   and endocrinology
» Functional magnetic resonance imaging — a tool for observing cognitive
   processes
» MRI and MRS in sports medicine — studies of function, adaptation and injury
» Image processing for statistical analysis and artefact correction

Teaching Interests:
» Magnetic Resonance Technology Postgraduate Teaching Program —
   Coordinator. This program is delivered by flexible teaching methods to students
   around the world. It aims to teach radiographers and other health professionals
   the underlying principles of magnetic resonance imaging, with a view to
   equipping them to get the most out of the technology
» Short-course program — provides radiologists and radiographer with the
   opportunity to update their knowledge of the latest developments in
   magnetic resonance, with both theory and practical sessions
