9.4 Tesla Scanner

The 9.4T 80 cm MR scanner at the Center for MR Research is a custom built, state of the art system for MR imaging. With a bore size of 80 cm and equipped with a head gradient set, the 9.4T scanner is primarily used for human brain imaging. The ultra-high static magnetic field increases the sensitivity of the MR signal and enables the completion of experiments that are otherwise limited by poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when performed within acceptable imaging times for human subjects.
