Siemens 1.5 Tesla Sonata system

This system is dedicated to research studies, using conventional anatomic imaging, cardiac imaging, and functional MRI. This system has the same gradient capabilities as the 3T (40mT/m maximum amplitude, and a slew rate of 200T/m/sec with a 100% duty cycle). The system also has an 8-channel receiver array head-coil for parallel imaging applications. The magnet is dedicated to basic radiology/neuroscience research including fMRI and the development of MR imaging approaches for Neurosurgical planning
