Housed under the Yale Bioimaging Institute the MR core is a revenue-neutral (fee-for-service) inter-institutional service provider. The Yale MR Core provides cutting-edge MR imaging for various applications, from acquisition strategies and methodology development to data analysis and archiving. With expert physicists and engineers on staff, the core supports novel hardware development and pulse sequence strategies. It is equipped with five whole-body MRI scanners, including three Siemens 3T Prisma scanners, a 3T Siemens Vida system, and a Bruker 4T, along with two preclinical magnets (9.4T and 11.7T Bruker). The MR Core also features custom-built electromagnets, advanced RF and NMR systems, human behavioral testing rooms, and data storage and analysis facilities, all dedicated to research imaging.
