- The web page for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research
Lab in the Department of Radiology at University of Washington is ungoing
a serious renovation, just like the lab:
.
Our facility consists of two high field magnets and one clinical magnet, dedicated to research: a 7 Tesla vertical bore Bruker (GE Omega) imaging/spectroscopy system, a 4.7 Tesla horizontal bore Bruker (GE Omega) imaging/spectroscopy system, and a 1.5 Tesla Signa clinical system, equipped with a spectroscopy package.
Our research is diverse ranging from high temporal resolution spectroscopy of exercising human limbs to fMRI studies of dyslexia. This set of pages will focus on the higher field projects.
However, right now the lab is awaiting the repair of both of our systems. The 4.7 has sprung a leak and being maintained with life support [e.g. a handy turbo pump...]. The 7 T has console problems and we are awaiting our shiny new Varian system. Ergo, the links to the magnets are no longer operational or even useful...
