    UPDATE (2024-05-15):

    The UBC MRI Research Centre recently underwent an equipment upgrade and now hosts Canada’s first Philips 3.0T MR7700 MRI scanner! The system’s new capabilities include:

    • Diffusion imaging with significantly improved data quality, enabling visualization of the brain’s neural pathways with amazing clarity, thanks to diffusion gradients reaching up to 65 mT/m and 220 T/m/s
    • The new multi-nuclear spectrometer is a game-changer, enabling researchers to explore beyond the proton (1H)
    • Sodium (23Na) MRI is used to assess brain cell and cartilage health
    • Phosphorus (31P) MR spectroscopy is applied to understand cellular energy dynamics in a variety of anatomies
