Preclincial MRI Biomedical Imaging Laboratory (YEUNG-P7612)

This lab is equipped with the state-of-art 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. It is at a clinical translational field, has the superior cryogen-free magnet technology and complete RF coil portfolio for small animal imaging. MRI has excellent soft tissue discrimination and no imaging depth limitations. It can be applied to reveal both anatomy and function of the region-of-interests. For example, MRI can visualize brain structures, such as white matter and grey matter. We can also use it to study the connectivity and functional activity. This is a powerful tool to study changes in physiology and pathology to address many biomedical questions, especially those related to healthcare.
