The University of California at San Diego and the Salk Institute established the Center for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 2002. The mission of the Center is to facilitate advanced imaging studies of function and anatomy - from mice to humans.
The Center houses three imaging systems: two 3T short bore scanners (GE Excite HDx) for human studies and a 7T system (21 cm bore, Bruker Avance II console) for small animal imaging. All systems are equipped for state-of-the-art high resolution structural imaging, dynamic imaging (echo-planar imaging), and proton-decoupled carbon, phosphorus, and single and multi-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
