1.5 Tesla MRI System

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an established method of medical imaging that focuses on the anatomical representation of tissues and organs. For our work, we have exclusive access to a clinical 1.5 Tesla MRI system with a bore diameter of 70 cm and gradient strengths of up to 45 mT/m. We use this for MRI research, for detailed examination of the interferences between PET components and MRI image acquisition, and as a reference for our own developments.

In particular, our research on PET/MRI system development and low-field MRI benefits from this equipment.
