ABOUT THE MEETING: The Imaging Research Center at CCRF was founded in 1993 and serves as the primary imaging research facility for MRI based imaging studies in animals and pediatric subjects in the Cincinnati area. The IRC provides imaging services and also collaborates with University of Cincinnati researchers as well as scientists at universities and corporations in the USA and around the world. The IRC currently operates a 3T whole body MRI scanner, and 1.5T and 7T small animal MRI scanners as well as a CT scanner for small animal imaging research. The 3T Philips whole body scanner is also equipped with MRI compatible audio visual capabilities as well as simultaneous EEG recording equipment. In addition, the IRC engages in clinical research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital using MRI, Ultrasound, and X-ray imaging systems operated by the Department of Radiology. More information about the IRC can be found at: https://irc.cchmc.org/
The tour will begin with a short presentation by the IRC Scientific Director, Dr. Charles (Chuck) Dumoulin, PhD who will provide an overview of the IRC resources and facilitIes as well as a primer on how MRI works and what it can tell us about biological systems. The group will then tour the MRI research systems and facilities in the IRC.
