MRI Imaging Facility
As part of the Translational Imaging Center at Houston Methodist, the scientists of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Facility are ready to assist you with your clinical and preclinical imaging (9.4 T Bruker vertical bone MRI scanner) needs by offering services to help you design experiments, acquire complex images and perform clinical translational research studies.
The human MRI scanners we use include the first clinical 7 Tesla MRI (Siemens MAGNETOM Terra) and a state-of-the-art 70 cm wide-bore 3 Tesla whole body MRI scanner (Siemens MAGNETOM Vida) that is in immediate proximity to the positron emission tomography (PET) facility, making it simple to facilitate high-throughput multi-modality imaging. The scanner is equipped to perform a variety of research studies.
