Physical Resources

The current equipment of the center includes the following:

Philips Achieva 7.0T 7T scanner installed after generous donations from the John and Birthe Meyer Foundation and the Danish Research Councils
   
Siemens Verio 3.0T A wide-bore high-end scanner with multi-nuclear capabilities installed 2010.
   
Siemens Avanto 1.5T A classic multi-channel general purpose scanner installed 2010.
   
Siemens Trio 3.0T This scanner was installed in 2002 after a generous donation from the Simon Spies Foundation.
   
Philips Achieva 3.0T This scanner installed 2013 for research purposes got installed in connection with the 7T project.
   
Varian Inova 4.7T This highly flexible experimental scanner is used for animal and "in vitro" work. The system has undergone a number of upgrades and is up-to-date with parallel imaging capability.
   
Oxford HyperSense hyperpolarisation unit A generous donation from the Simon Spies Foundation (description in Danish). The department has a research agreement with GE Healthcare and does in vivo studies of metabolism using hyperpolarised 13C-labelled pyruvate, for example.
   
EEG, neuronavigation, TMS Excellent facilities for advanced neuroimaging studies.
   
Animal laboratory The department has good facilities and skillful staff.
   
Computer laboratory The analysis of MR images is very computer intensive and is performed using a cluster of fast computers.
   
 Hardware lab  RF and hardware workshop for coil building and more.
