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! |
