Description
State-of-the-art wide-bore high-field MRI scanner (3 Tesla Philips Elition X) for structural and functional MRI (fMRI). This MRI scanner can be used for (clinical) diagnostics as well as fundamental or applied research. All body parts can be visualised in 3D or even 4D (3D in time). Dedicated coils are available for various body parts. Our MRI scanner is located at the Gelderse Vallei Hospital in Ede.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a potent and versatile, non-invasive imaging technique which yields structural (anatomical) as well as functional images of (parts of) the human body. This is achieved by combining a strong magnetic field with radiofrequency pulses.
