We are transforming an existing 9.4T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner into a next-generation platform for engineering innovation and translational neuroscience. Sited at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (NKI), this instrument represents arguably the most powerful human-compatible ultra-high field (UHF) neuroimaging platform to date.
This project is a collaborative effort involving NKI, Columbia University, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and GE Global Research. By integrating a 9.4T magnet with advanced head-only gradients and RF technologies, we aim to achieve unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution for human brain imaging.
