7T/AS: Siemens MAGNETOM 7T Plus

Description

The 7T MAGNETOM Plus system was the first actively shielded whole body 7T scanner in the world, brought online in 2011. This research scanner supports biomedical research both in the brain and in the body, supporting both core research of the Center as well as collaborative and service projects with intra- and extra-mural groups. This system also provides a key platform for engineering developments key to advancing technology critical to advancing the field of UHF MRI.
