In2U – Inter-University Ultra-High-Field MRI Centre Flanders (In2U) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research infrastructure of In2U consists of a very powerful MRI scanner with a magnetic field strength of 7 tesla (T) to improve management of diseases of different organ (e.g. brain, breast, liver, bone marrow, kidney and prostate). Such a 7T system has a number of advantages over standard MRI scanners used in clinical routine: e.g. higher signal, better tissue contrast and superior metabolite differentiation. The advantages also allow us to study dynamic changes like brain functions with a much higher precision. Traditional low MRI signal applications like imaging of molecules other ...
