The 9.4T/30cm MRI
Facility was created as part of the basic sciences research
within the Department of Radiology. Our goal is to advance
state of the art animal imaging technology at the anatomic and
functional level. Our research also serves as a resource
for the development of clinical imaging techniques in the
diagnostic medical field. The goal of the Consortium is to
facilitate inter-institutional collaboration between Academic
Institutions within University of Chicago and Medical Center
that can transfer this technology to the clinical area and the
public.
Best Wishes! |

Thanks to institutional capital
reinvestment funds, the MRIS laboratory has recently
acquired and installed new hardware and software further
increasing our imaging and spectroscopic capabilities. We
have purchased and installed a new 60 mm imaging gradient
produced by Bruker Biospin. This gradient is designed
specifically to match and fully integrate with our current
9.4T Bruker MRI animal scanner and greatly increase the
potential spatial resolution of many imaging studies. In
addition, we purchased two new coils which will open up
areas of research not previously possible. A 72 mm
quadrature 1H coil which will be extremely helpful for
investigators interested in imaging larger samples such as
human biopsies, rat brain and rat whole body. A 20 mm
31P/1H. surface coil will allow investigators to perform
metabolic studies in vivo. Many projects such as brain,
liver, adipose, skeletal muscle and heart will benefit
immediately.
We thank the Office of Shared Research Facilities (OSRF) and
the Research Resources Oversight Committee (RROC) for
funding our proposal.
