3T MR Scanner
High resolution magnetic resonance imaging utilizing a Siemens Allegra 3 Tesla Head-only MRI system.
• Gradient Strength of 40 mT/m and a slew rate of 400 mT/m/sec
• Wall mounted medical gases (air, oxygen) and suction
• INVIVO monitoring system (blood pressure, pulse, and O2 sat)
• Video display for fMRI or for subject comfort and entertainment
• Reserved parking space for use by research subjects
• Subject preparation/interview room
• BOLD Imaging- uses local changes in blood flow to indicate the current level of activity in a region of the brain.
• Presentation- high-precision program for stimulus delivery and experimental control for behavioral and physiological fMRI experiments.
• ASL Eye Tracking System- specifically designed for fMRI studies with the ability to track eye movement and accurate point of gaze.
• Lumitouch Response System- hand held fiber optic patient response system designed specifically for use in functional MRI.
