Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TCIN houses two Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines. A 3 Tesla MRI is used for human analysis and a small bore 7 Tesla MRI is available for animal imaging.

Researchers interested in using the scanners should contact Dr. Christian Kerskens at 01-6088470 or email kerskenc@tcd.ie to discuss potential projects.
