Our systems are equipped for advanced high-resolution structural imaging, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI, Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL), and single and multi-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).  They also contain auditory, visual, and gustatory stimulation systems.

 

We can assist with the following:

  • Fee for service center (bill for hourly usage of scanner, technologist fees, technical fees)
  • Online (web) scheduling system for independent users for scanners and conference rooms.
  • Access to the instruments (MRI Scanners) for fully trained users is available 24/7, facilitating subject recruitment and retention
  • An imaging technologist is available to assist in data collection for 15% of the scan charge.
  • Physicist Support: Includes consultation and protocol development time, data management, and general collaborations on MRI projects
  • Operator training is available to enable the safe use of MRI equipment by new users
