2025年1月10日 · The UBC MRI Research facility recently underwent an equipment upgrade and now hosts Canada’s first Philips 3.0T MR7700 MRI scanner! The system’s new capabilities include: Please contact us at [email protected] to …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a specialized machine with strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body. It is a safe way to get a closer look at structures and tissues in your body including the brain, spine, joints, muscles, abdomen, and blood vessels.

The MRI science community at UBC develops new scientific tools for MRI data acquisition and analysis and shares these new methods collaboratively with scientists at UBC and beyond. Magnetic resonance imaging offers tremendous opportunity and flexibility to develop new, non-invasive techniques that can be performed repeatedly in patients and ...

It was upgraded in December 2023 to the new Philips top-of-the-line model: MR7700. All investigators are required to submit an MR protocol proposal form before scanning time can be booked. This form requires a brief description of the project, a detailed MR sequence protocol, and details on funding and Ethics approval.

An overview of the MRI labs at UBC and their research can be found here. 3T MRI Our facility houses a 3.0 Tesla Philips whole body MRI scanner, which we use to make state of the art in vivo MR imaging and spectroscopy available to researchers like you.

We provide a full range of services, including study set-up, MRI protocol development, custom pulse sequences, quantitative image analysis, and support for Tri-Council funding applications. The Upright Open MRI is a UBC shared research platform funded as a partnership between the Faculty of Medicine, the Centre for Aging SMART, and the Office ...

The Upright Open MRI scanner is located at Vancouver General Hospital, in the Leon Judah Blackmore Pavilion off 12th Ave. On the map shown below, the blue pinpoint is where the Upright Open MRI scanner is located.

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Core at the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation provides access to state of-the-art MRI equipment and protocols dedicated to structure-function investigations of heart and lung disease.

Our scanner is a Bruker BioSpec 70/30 USR in vivo MR spectroscopy/imaging system. It operates at 7.0 Tesla and has an inner bore of 30 cm. We have purchased a 'fully loaded' system with three sets of gradients and rf coils optimised for cat MR, rat MR and mice MR (to be confirmed).

As well as his faculty position at UBC, Dr. Alex MacKay is Director of the UBC MRI Research Centre and Director of the Medical Physics Program in Physics & Astronomy. His research includes the development of myelin water imaging – a …
