High field and ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of humans and preclinical models of disease.
The Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping has the only collection of high and ultra-high field MRI scanners in Canada. We are staffed by a dedicated group of physicists, engineers, animal technicians, MRI technologists and research coordinators addressing basic and clinical neuroscience, and musculoskeletal health research.
MRI scanning of patients, healthy controls, non-human primates, small to medium sized animals such as dogs, cats, rodents as well as birds; MRI services for pharma sponsored clinical trials.
